Brief summary
This study aims to explore whether taking part in a whanau-centred group health coaching programme can support adults living with Type 2 diabetes in Northland. Participants will attend weekly group sessions over eight weeks that focus on food choices, physical activity, lifestyle habits, and overall wellbeing in a supportive community setting. The study will look at changes in diabetes-related health measures (such as HbA1c where available) before and after the programme. It will also explore changes in wellbeing and health behaviours, as well as participants’ experiences of the programme. It is expected that participation may support improved diabetes self-management and hauora, and the findings will help inform future community-based programmes.
