Primary outcomePrimary: Medication Adherence Status — 29; 39; 18; 8 Participants
Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the effect of a peer support group intervention on adherence, self-care practice, and knowledge among diabetic patients on follow-up care. The main question it aims to answer is:
* Does participation in a peer support group improve medication adherence, self-care behaviors, and diabetes knowledge compared to standard care?
* Participants with diabetes who are already receiving follow-up care at Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital(ACSH) will be randomly assigned to either a peer support group (intervention group) or continue their usual follow-up care (control group). Outcomes will be measured through validated questionnaires and pill counts over the study period.
