In rural areas, access to diabetes education and support services is often limited, leading to inadequate management of the condition and increased risk of complications. This project proposes the establishment of a Rural Diabetes Educator and Diabetes Friend Program to address these challenges and improve outcomes for individuals living with diabetes in rural communities. The Diabetes Health Educator Training Program is designed to address the growing need for trained professionals capable of effectively educating individuals with diabetes on disease management and lifestyle modifications.
Main aim of this program to provide accessible and culturally sensitive diabetes education and support services in rural areas and train local community members as Diabetes Educators and Diabetes Friends to facilitate peer support and education and reduce the incidence of diabetes-related complications and improve overall health outcomes in rural populations.
