The aim of this project was to identify, critically review and combine the published evidence on interventions that work for the management of DR in LMICs. The outputs of this project are to be disseminated to relevant stakeholders, programme implementers and policy makers, to inform cost-effective and innovative approaches to deliver DR programmes in LMICs.<\/p>\n
Four rapid reviews were conducted. The research questions addressed common points at which people with diabetes can drop out of the care journey:<\/p>\n
