dc.description | The Irish health service model of integrated care for people living with type 2 diabetes (2018, 2024) and the ICPCD recommends self-management education and support (SMES) as essential to quality care. A clinically effective group type 2 diabetes SMES programme (DISCOVER DIABETES – Type 2) was successfully designed, developed and evaluated in 2019-2020 to improve care access through the ICPCD hubs. It was developed for the HSE by diabetes dietitians in partnership with people living with type 2 diabetes (n=180), in line with international standards and evidence base for SMES and diabetes care. • This group in-person programme, an empowerment and behavioural person centred community-based intervention proved resource efficient and effective, improved access being free to all and also integrated with an extensive range of HSE services and supports. • In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented group in-person SMES programme delivery. COVID-19 also activated major diabetes care challenges including: the high risk status of this cohort, limited access to GPs and other health care professionals and increased fear and isolation. | en_US |
