A generalized Diabetes Networking Tool (DNT) to enhance social support for patient self management

Description: Narrative Diabetes is a growing and costly public health problem that requires patient self-management. Social relationships can support successful self-management. We propose to design and test a smartphone app that uses social networking technology to help family and friends of people with Type 2 Diabetes support those patients in improving their diabetes self-management and avoiding potential complications from this disease.
