Clinical Trial Summary

This study will determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a monthly social support group along with a weekly peer-to-peer meeting in improving perceived level of social support, diabetes distress, and A1c profiles in patients with Type II diabetes mellitus, compared with standard care offered at British Columbia Diabetes (BC Diabetes).


Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded comparative group clinical trial of 48 participants receiving social interaction in addition to standard diabetes care or standard diabetes care alone. All participants will have a baseline and 6 month follow-up visit where assessment of their A1C, diabetes distress, and social support will be performed.

Participants randomized to the social interaction cohort will meet on a monthly basis for a two hour group session designed to build social connections. In addition, participants will be paired with another study participant in this group, and will be asked to meet on a monthly basis for a minimum of 45 minutes. All participants in the social support cohort will continue to receive best standard diabetes management.

Participants in the control group will be treated with standard diabetes care. At the end of the 6-month study, they will have the opportunity to engage in the same social interventions offered to the social interaction group. ;
