Adherence
A 1-year person-centered and culturally sensitive intervention, including continuous glucose monitoring and extended healthcare professional consultations, improves glycemic control (HbA1c) and diabetes management in non-Western, Arabic-, Turkish-, or Urdu-speaking individuals with Type 2 Diabetes compared to usual care.
For individuals with Type 2 Diabetes from Arabic, Turkish, or Urdu-speaking backgrounds, standard care may not be enough. This protocol suggests seeking a specialized, culturally sensitive program that includes continuous glucose monitoring, extended consultations with the same healthcare team, and education in your native language. This approach aims to improve blood sugar control and overall well-being by addressing language barriers and cultural needs.
This study aims to examine the effect of a 1-year person-centered and culturally sensitive intervention on improving glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) in Arabic-, Turkish-, or Urdu-speaking individuals with T2D.
Why this rating
This is a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial; results are not yet available, so evidence of effectiveness is currently non-existent (pending).
