Type 2 diabetes management among older American Indians: beliefs, attitudes, and practices.
This study’s purpose was to examine beliefs, attitudes, and practices of older Native Americans regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. This disease is one the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among Native Americans, and they are twice as likely to have T2DM, and over three times the mortality rate from T2DM as Whites. Semi-structured in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 28 participants with a mean age of 73 years, with 57% female. Participants’ mean confidence score of their T2DM management was 8.0 on a scale of 1 to 10 and their mean Hb1Ac was 7.3.%. Overall 5 themes were discussed: sociocultural factors, causes and consequences, cognitive and affective assessment, diet and exercise, and medical management.

Dietary beliefs and management of older American Indians with type 2 diabetes.
This qualitative study examined dietary-related beliefs and self-management among older American Indians with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The investigators concluded that American Indian older adults face a variety of challenges to dietary management of T2DM. The investigators suggested that future research efforts can focus on assessing how social support can be leveraged to facilitate healthy diets for American Indians with T2DM.

Sources of stress among Midwest American Indian adults with type 2 diabetes.
Investigators analyzed focus group transcripts of American Indian adults with type 2 diabetes from five tribal communities and classified stressors using an inductive/deductive analytical approach. They identified poverty, genocide, and colonization as fundamental causes of contemporary stress and health outcomes for American Indians and concluded that stressors are generally experienced as chronic, regardless of the duration of the stressor.
