 Type 2 diabetes, T2D, and arterial hypertension, AH, are among the greatest challenges facing health systems worldwide and require comprehensive patient-centered care. The key to successful management in chronic patients is self-management support, which was found to be only weekly implemented in Slovenia. The aim of the study is to develop an evidence-based model of peer support for people with T2D and AH at the primary healthcare level in Slovenia, which could represent a potential solution for upgrading integrated care for these patients.
