Interventions
|
The study will carry out a randomised controlled trial of peer education for healthy eating in people with diabetes living in Burnley and Bradford. These are areas with large ethnic minority population and a high level of low income families. The peer education will involve training 'expert patients' who will then pass on their knowledge to groups of other people with diabetes from their locality. The control group will receive standard care. This will involve an individual 15 minute appointment with a dietitian and GP/practice nurse. Follow up of both groups will be conducted at three months post education and at 12 months. Differences between groups in terms of food and nutrient intake, weight and measures of diabetic control will be compared.

|
Primary outcome measure(s)
|
1. Differences in food/nutrient intake patterns between the group receiving peer education and the standard education package - specifically: changes in fat, saturated fat, energy, fibre, and fruit and vegetable intakes.
2. Assessment of the sustainability of any changes over a one year period.
3. Assessment of the ability of the peer educator to promote improvement in diabetic control over 3 months and 12 months as compared with the standard educational package alone.
4. Development of a culturally acceptable, health promotion intervention.
5. Difference in continued motivation to change between groups.
6. Difference in cost of intervention between the groups.
