“…Patients should be instructed on proper interpretation of Nutrition Facts Labels on packaged foods. Clinicians should be sensitive to patients' ethnic and cultural backgrounds and their associated food preferences (11). In addition, education on medical nutrition therapy for patients with diabetes should also address the need for consistency in day-to-day carbohydrate intake; limiting sucrose-containing, high fructosecontaining, or other high-glycemic-index foods; as well as the importance of eating a healthy, high-fiber breakfast, and not skipping meals, to lessen the risk of unhealthy eating late at night.…”

“…Moreover, there is an increase in CVD (except for CHD) mortality, from 2011 to 2015 (7). What is particularly disturbing is that the increased CVD mortality rate trends, especially those in low-and middle-income socioeconomic and educational strata, or certain ethnocultural populations with unhealthy lifestyles, are thought to be due to less effective and/or accessible preventive strategies (8)(9)(10)(11). Nevertheless, improved survival trends are seen when largescale risk factor modification efforts are delivered within an integrated health care system (12).…”

“…To build trust with Hispanic/Latinx patients and promote disclosure of diabetes self-care practices, it will be salient for providers to utilize a respectful, transcultural, and individualized approach. 45 Furthermore, patients using herbal/plant remedies and supplements concurrently with prescribed medications may require more frequent monitoring due to consequences of herb-drug interactions or synergistic effects of treatments 20 and information on improper usage/dosage of remedies and supplements. 39 Providers can assist patients in evaluating the financial out-of-pocket cost of commercial products, particularly products without proven efficacy.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the use of herbal/plant remedies and supplements for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) among Hispanics/Latinxs in North Carolina and identify demographic and diabetes-related factors associated with use of these therapies. Methods Baseline data from a family-based diabetes intervention tailored for Hispanics/Latinxs were analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and logistic regression. A convenience sample of 186 adults with T2DM and adult family members with and without T2DM was recruited from community-based settings and data obtained from face-to-face interviews conducted in Spanish. Results Most participants were female (73%) with an average age of 45 years old. Among this predominantly immigrant sample (96%), 78% of participants reported being from Mexico. Sixty percent had T2DM, and average A1C was 8.7% for persons with T2DM. Nearly a third reported using 51 different remedies for diabetes management. Most ingested them concurrently with prescribed medications; however, 11.3% reported altering the dose of medications when using herbal/plant remedies or supplements. Most common items were prickly pear cactus, pineapple, celery, aloe vera, parsley, and spinach. Using herbs/plants was positively correlated with age, A1C, and years with T2DM. The odds of using herbs/plants increased 28% for every 1% increase in A1C (adjusted odds ratio = 1.28, P = .003). Conclusions Asking about herbal/plant remedy and supplement use is important. Although there is limited efficacy and safety studies for some items, multiple reported remedies are functional foods with biologically active ingredients to promote health. Patient education is needed on safe and unsafe items and use with prescribed medications.
