In Ethiopia, 9 out of 10 diabetes patients cannot control their blood sugar. We designed a nurse-led counselling and peer support to address this crisis. We hypothesize it will significantly reduce average blood-sugar levels (measured by HbA1c) and improve self-care. To assess this, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial with 160 patients, measuring changes in their clinical outcomes over three months. Your support will fund this final study to prove its effectiveness.
