Abstract

Positive changes can emerge when the roles of participants and workers change to explore and share health experiences. People with diabetes felt empowered by helping to set group topics and by the self-discovery that happened in group. Health coaches felt there was a better balance of power between them and clients. Pharmacists felt better at sharing information with people with diabetes.
