Use of complementary health approaches among diverse primary care patients with type 2 diabetes and association with cardiometabolic outcomes: from the SF Bay Collaborative Research Network (SF Bay CRN).
The purpose of this study is to describe use of complementary health approaches (CHAs) among patients with type 2 diabetes, and independent associations between CHA use and Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) and lower-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. The study concluded that CHA use is common among patients with type 2 diabetes and may be associated with poor cardiometabolic control and medication adherence.
