Making It All Work

چکیده
The greater prevalence of type 2 diabetes is a critical issue among the U.S. Hispanic population. This study examined the struggles of Hispanic adults managing type 2 diabetes with limited resources. Ten Hispanic adults (enrolled in a larger study to determine the effects of diabetes self-management intervention), 25 to 80 years of age and living in a rural West Texas county in the United States, were selected. Three categories of challenges emerged: (a) diabetes self-care behaviors and challenges, (b) challenges with limited resources, and (c) challenges with support mechanisms. “Making it all work” was the overarching theme that tied all the categories together. This study offers lessons for health care providers and policymakers on how to maximize the availability of resources for Hispanic individuals with type 2 diabetes living within the constraints of limited resources.
