Hispanic
diabetes patients may benefit from culturally targeted intervention
Hispanic patients with type 2 diabetes achieved a mean A1C of 7.7% one month after participating in an eight-week culturally targeted
diabetes education program offered in Spanish, compared with 8.7% in the attention control group, according to a study in The Diabetes Educator. Researchers used a cohort of 92 Hispanic diabetes patients and 94 family members and found those in the intervention
group also had significant improvements in diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy scores, but these were not maintained at six months post-intervention.
