- Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common chronic health condition among the adult population in the United States. DM is more prevalent and complications higher in Latinos, possibly due to inadequate medical and self-care as well as inaccurate culture-bound beliefs. Project Dulce is a nurse-managed DM educational and treatment program designed to measure the effect on clinical outcomes, adherence to American Diabetes Association and American Heart Association standards of care, and cultural beliefs in 210 high risk (HbA1c > 9.5%) and 346 lower risk (HbA1c < 9.5%) indigent Latinos with DM.
