Description

This presentation reports on a qualitative study with Hispanic/Latinx patients (n=20) with unmanaged type 2 diabetes on their knowledge, preferences, and insights related to type 2 diabetes self-management and programming. Interview data were analyzed using rapid analysis procedures and indicate that patients face cultural, economic, and environmental barriers to diabetes self-care and healthcare. This presentation will engage participants in discussing ideas for the development of programs and pathways that enhance equitable access to culturally appropriate diabetes care.
