Osborn CY, Bains SS, Egede LE. Health literacy, diabetes self-care, and glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics. 2010 Nov 1; 12(11):913-9.

This suggests that for patients with limited health literacy, enhancing social support would facilitate diabetes self-care and improved glycemic control.
