Most studies were conducted in the USA among ethnic minority groups.
14 of 17 studies measured self-management behaviors with notable improvements in 9 studies.
Meta-analysis showed significant improvement in HbA1c levels, with a reduction of -0.57 (95% CI -1.15, -0.25, p < 0.01) post intervention.
