Brief description Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) affects 113.9 million people in China. Prevalence has risen dramatically to over 10% and is expected to continue rising. Few Chinese with T2DM are achieving adequate management targets to prevent complications and the current health system infrastructure is struggling to meet these gaps in care. Our project will expand the family health promoter model to develop a scalable model for low cost, high quality diabetes care in urban and rural China.
