Sir,This is with regard to the editorial published in your journal and titled “Peer support as a strategy for effective management of diabetes in India.”[1] The editorial has tried to address an significant cause of concern for the management of diabetes in India and the effort needs appreciation. My concerns in this regard rise because I feel that peer support for diabetes in India has limitations primarily because diabetes faces social stigma and involving patients suffering from the diabetes will be difficult. This is because people are reluctant to reveal their diabetic status. Secondly peer support in diabetes also suffers from the fact that diabetes is not curable, unlike say tuberculosis wherein cured patients as dot providers are effective as peer support. What appears as the best strategy in management of diabetes in India is one report in an editorial titled “Patient Centered Approach to Diabetes Management: The Dawn Philosophy” by the editors of the current article.[2] The effort as rightly put out in that article should be to help put the individual - rather than the disease - at the center.
