Social support can be defined as “an exchange of resources between (at
least) two persons, aimed at increasing the well-being of the receiver.”
[ ... ] While the exact mechanism at work remains unclear, it has been
hypothesized that social support may work either directly, resulting in
beneficial effects for a person regardless of the existing stress level,
or indirectly, by providing a resource to modify the detrimental
influence of high-level stress conditions. Apart from familial
relatives, peers, friends, neighbors, colleagues, fellow patients, or
even penfriends, social networking on the Internet may play a role in
social support.

Family and social support are important aspects of adherence to diabetes
management. Numerous correlational studies have shown a positive and
significant relationship between social support and adherence to
diabetes treatment.

For people with diabetes, self-management is important for maintaining
cardiometabolic control and avoiding complications. Diabetes
self-management regimens are often complex and many patients fall short
of self-care goals. Identifying factors that can help patients adhere to
diabetes self-management regimens is important. One such factor that may
have potent effects on diabetes self-management is social support,
including emotional support or interactions with a social network of
family members, friends, or peers.
