In the family delivery model, a participant is encouraged to invite his/her family members to the diabetes educational sessions. As outlined by stakeholders, the model has several potential benefits. First, patients are empowered to invite the people they define as family and as appropriate for taking part in the sessions with them. Second, the education will engage the patient-defined support unit. Third, given the high-rate of diabetes within the community, it is highly probable that others within the group will have Type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes and may benefit from the intervention as well.
