Community-based programs for type 2 diabetes, led by community health workers, peer educators, or digital tools, can help people manage their disease, especially in low- and middle-income countries. These programs improve blood sugar control, weight, and confidence in self-care. Success is higher when programs are integrated into local health systems, culturally relevant, and supported with supervision. Digital tools can reach more people but need ongoing support to stay effective. Scaling up should focus on integration, funding, and training for community health workers.
