Pandu Diabetes (Diabetes Champions) was organized by the Indonesian Diabetes
Association to meet the challenges of providing support in a country with 245 million people and 17 000 islands, combined with very few endocrinologists, most of whom are based in urban centres. The aim of Pandu Diabetes is to create leaders and motivators among people with diabetes, to activate those involved in diabetes care, to improve diabetes self-care, to serve as community role models, and to provide peer support. Peer candidates must be lay people who have well-controlled diabetes, and expressed motivation to help others with their condition. Their training is regionally-based although there is an annual national camp.
Candidates are selected and trained in a four-tier competitive process. Subjective evaluation reveals uniform enthusiasm for the programme. Major barriers include travel logistics and lack of uniform training and follow-up. Plans have been developed to overcome these barriers.
