Despite tremendous efforts by both healthcare professionals and social organizations, diabetes keeps increasing, providing an enormous burden of healthcare cost in developing and developed countries. Since the establishment of Turkey Republic in 1923, the official study published is not more than a decade ago under the supervision of WHO (Turkish Diabetes Epidemiology Project-TURDEP I). Surprising rate of diabetes increase (94%) found in TURDEP II, which was announced two years ago indicated an extra-effort is needed for convincing people with diabetes, encouraging them for attending to modern diabetes management discipline. Presidency of Turkey Diabetes-Peer Project was organized in 21 provinces (of 81 provinces) in order to help diminish the increasing rate and provide a better health condition. City coordinator worked with trained city- diabetes peer during education sessions where feed-back and follow-up questionnaires are applied and shared with Turkish Diabetes Foundation. Small groups are generated and people with diabetes are invited to a classroom where they are allowed and encouraged to ask any question they have in mind. At the end of the program, all participants are given a certificate, although this did not limit their attandance for the next course.
