This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of family-dyad interventions on diabetes self-management and glycemic control in adults with Type 2 diabetes. A total of 23 studies were included, revealing mixed results in diabetes control outcomes, particularly A1C levels, and short-term improvements in behavioral and psychosocial measures. The review highlights the need for further research to strengthen evidence in this area.

Key findings

  • 23 studies were included in the final review, with mixed results on diabetes control outcomes.
  • Half of the included studies were pilot studies assessing feasibility and acceptability.
  • Short-term efficacy was noted in behavioral and psychosocial measurements like self-efficacy.

Why it matters

Understanding the impact of family-dyad interventions on diabetes management can inform clinicians about potential support strategies for patients, enhancing self-management and possibly improving glycemic control.
