Abstract Introduction Diabetes self-management education (DSME) helps patients self-manage their condition and improve outcomes/quality of life. However, access to DSME is limited, particularly in low-income areas. This study aims to develop a DSME training kit (EK-DIN), understand barriers to implementation, and evaluate the effectiveness and sustainability of community leader (CL)-based rollout using a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial format. Methods and analysis The mixed methods study will begin with a qualitative study to evaluate the facilitators and barriers towards CL-based DSME. The in-depth interview notes will be transcribed for thematic analysis. These results will be utilized for a stakeholder’s workshop to develop the EK-DIN kit, a patient-interfacing app, and an implementation plan. Rollout will be conducted in 30 clusters in Delhi, preselected by the DEDICOM-II survey in 5 steps (6 clusters every 3 months: 2 each from each socio-economic category; randomly selected per sequence). A CL from each cluster will be trained in using the EK-DIN kit/app over 1 month. The trained CL will conduct DSME sessions among the cluster residents using the EK-DIN kits provided fortnightly for 3 months. Compliance and blood parameters data will be collected at baseline, 3 months after the intervention, and every quarter thereafter till completion. Change in HbA1c before and after the intervention will be evaluated as the primary outcome using the swCRTdesign package for R version 4.0.2 and the swSummary function. The sustainability of the effects will be evaluated using the change in quarterly parameters after intervention completion. Discussion A positive result will set the template for a generalizable public health intervention with proven community effectiveness, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and positive quality-of-life impact. While a negative result will require the testing of alternative approaches, it would still add substantially to existing knowledge on the subject. Given the diverse socio-cultural setting in which the trial is being proposed and the high power of the study, the results (positive or negative) should be widely applicable and have policy implications.
