Updated Thumbnails

“I think education needs to be a way in which we get to know the person first, what the person wants to do is able to do, what has happened before, what has worked, and what has not worked. And then based on that, suggest and work together in identifying a plan that would work.”

Dr. Enrique Caballero discusses type 2 diabetes in the Hispanic/Latino population and diabetes disparities among racial and ethnic minorities. He talks about diabetes education programs specifically for Hispanic and Latino communities and how diabetes management programs must be culturally adapted.
