RESULTS
Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 8 were rdomized conrlld trials (RCTs). Of the 8 RCTs, i7provd glycemic control was reported in the intervention arm of S RCTs comparedwith the control arm Of the 4 RCTs theat amined QoL, inprd QoL was reported in the idention ann of 1 study Charaaristics of sssid inter dio s ed poor glcmvic control at baseline (AlC>1 1%), adtural or agetaioring the inevto use of group counseling or support, and inzdmt of spouses and adult children.
