What this research studies
We know that managing type 2 diabetes is a daily effort often shared with family and friends, and we've found different ways families support this. This project builds on our past work to understand these family support styles and develop a new, adaptive program delivered through mobile phones. The goal is to offer support that is specifically designed to fit your unique family situation, helping you better manage your diabetes. We want to make sure everyone gets the right kind of help, based on what works best for them and their loved ones.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 21 and older living with type 2 diabetes who have close family or friends involved in their daily lives.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have type 2 diabetes or who prefer not to involve family or friends in their diabetes management may not find this approach beneficial.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this personalized approach could lead to more effective diabetes self-management and improved well-being for adults with type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has identified different family support styles and shown that a family-focused mobile intervention can be effective for some, but this project aims to tailor it more precisely.
