Description
Salwa S Zghebi and colleagues evaluate in 2026 who used England national online diabetes program and whether users fared better after a year. Healthy Living offers free self-management education for type 2 diabetes through the health service. Linked program and audit records covered more than twenty-one thousand people who activated accounts.
Activators skewed female and, compared with non-users, included far smaller shares of Asian and Black patients. Matched users ended the year with slightly better blood sugar, weight, and blood pressure than controls. They also completed more of the recommended yearly care checks, while new insulin starts did not differ. Gains were modest, which makes widening fair access as important as the program effect itself.
