A people-centred approach through Self-Management and Reciprocal learning for the prevention and management of Type-2-Diabetes

To formulate and implement a contextually appropriate self-management approach through facility and community components for prevention and control of T2DM in three settings: a rural area in a low-income country (Uganda), an urban township in a middle-income country (South Africa), and vulnerable immigrant populations in a high-income country (Sweden);- To evaluate the outcome of the self-management approach and the added benefit of the community component compared to the facility component; and in dialogue with stakeholders- To translate the research findings at each stage into relevant input for national guidelines and policies in each setting and for reciprocal transfer of knowledge across sites.
