CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

People from the South Asian background are two to four times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared to the general population. They also tend to have poorer diabetes management, putting them at higher risk of serious health complications. This session is designed to help you to provide culturally tailored support to South Asian patients and clients.

South Asians are at higher risk for Type 2 diabetes than other ethnic groups due to a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors. Whilst there is nothing than can be done to change genetic risk, making positive changes to the diet can reduce the risk of developing diabetes and its complications.

Providing culturally tailored support to patients and clients will have a more tangible impact on diabetes care and outcomes for the South Asian communities.

This webinar covers:

  • Why culturally tailored interventions have better outcomes
  • Popular diabetes myths in South Asian communities
  • Practical advice about making South Asian food healthier
