ClinConnect Summary

**Summary of the Integrative Group Program for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trial**

This clinical trial is looking at how a special group program can help people with Type 2 Diabetes manage their health better and feel better overall. The program includes six in-person sessions led by a health coach, happening every other week, along with six online sessions over a 12-week period. The goal is to see if this combined approach improves blood sugar control and enhances the participants' sense of well-being.

To be part of this trial, participants should be between 18 and 80 years old, have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes within the last five years, and live in Nuevo León, Mexico. They must also be able to read and write and provide written consent to join. Unfortunately, those currently using insulin, diagnosed with diabetes for over five years, or with certain health conditions (like active cancer or severe mental illness) cannot participate. Participants in the trial can expect to engage in both group discussions and online learning, all designed to support their journey in managing diabetes effectively.
