Usability evaluation of the educational website "understanding my diabetes" for Mexican patients with type 2 diabetes.

Background: Diabetes education is an integral part of the treatment for the metabolic control of patients with diabetes. The use of the Internet as a tool for diabetes education, as well as its acceptance, is still under study.

Aim: To assess the usability of the educational website "I understand my diabetes" designed for patients with type 2 diabetes attending primary care clinics.

Inadequate diabetes knowledge is associated with poor glycemia control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective: To identify the association between glycemia control with level of diabetes knowledge, diabetes education, and lifestyle variables in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Design: Cross-sectional analytical study. SITE: Clinics of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), Mexico.

Undiagnosed prediabetes in Mexican adolescents under poverty in contexts affected by collective violence: A clinical comparison among health services users and hidden population.

Introduction: The epidemiological pattern of prediabetes in adolescents is understudied. In Mexico, adolescents are exposed to social adversity conditions, including poverty and violence. Therefore, understanding their clinical profiles and how the social determinants of health impose barriers to access to health services is important to address detection, in those who, by their vulnerability, remain a hidden population.

A dietary pattern high in full-fat dairy and sweetened beverages is associated with glycated hemoglobin and weight in Mexican patients with type-2 diabetes.

Objective: the aim of this study was to identify dietary patterns in a sample of patients with type-2 diabetes, and to evaluate their association with markers of metabolic control. Methods: a cross-sectional study in 395 patients with type-2 diabetes in primary care was conducted. Fasting blood levels of glycated hemoglobin (A1c), glucose, total cholesterol, low- (LDL-c) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and triglycerides were measured.

Adherence to non-pharmacological treatment is associated with the goals of cardiovascular control and better eating habits in Mexican patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To identify the association of diabetes education or medical nutrition therapy with the goals of control of cardiovascular risk indicators and dietary habits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study in 395 primary care patients. HbA1c, fasting glucose and lipid profile, blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, and body composition were measured.

Positive health beliefs are associated with improvement of glycated hemoglobin and lipid profiles in Mexican patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Health beliefs are relevant to consider in patients with type 2 diabetes since disease control depends mainly on the patient's behaviour. The aim of this study was to assess the association between health beliefs and glycated hemoglobin levels in Mexican patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted, and 336 patients were included.

Education with a multimedia web platform improves knowledge and HbA1c of Mexican patients with type 2 diabetes. Open clinical trial.

Introduction: The patient with diabetes mellitus type requires to receive education about the disease aimed at improving knowledge and skills for their control. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional therapy and education through a multimedia site on the level of knowledge and metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Patients And Methods: Open-label clinical trial of 12 months of follow-up in 161 patients with type 2 diabetes.

Cardiometabolic Risk Indicators for Kidney Disease in Mexican Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Introduction: Kidney disease is one of the main complications in the diabetic patient. Risk factors such as obesity, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia have been associated with increased urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and decreased glomerular filtration rates (GFR). However, the data are inconsistent.

Multimedia education program and nutrition therapy improves HbA1c, weight, and lipid profile of patients with type 2 diabetes: a randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of a multimedia education program and nutrition therapy on metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Research Question: What is the effect of a multimedia education program and nutritional therapy on metabolic control in type 2 diabetes?

Patients And Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted in 351 patients randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving a multimedia diabetes education program (MDE) and nutrition therapy (NT) (NT + MDE: n = 173), or to a control group who received nutrition therapy only (NT: n = 178). At baseline, 7, 14, and 21 months, the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol were measured.

Fiber in Diet Is Associated with Improvement of Glycated Hemoglobin and Lipid Profile in Mexican Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Objective. To assess the association of dietary fiber on current everyday diet and other dietary components with glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c), glucose, lipids profile, and body weight body weight, in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods.

Mediterranean-style diet reduces metabolic syndrome components in obese children and adolescents with obesity.

Background: The beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet have been amply proven in adults with cardiovascular risk factors. The effects of this diet have not been extensively assessed in pediatric populations with obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the Mediterranean style diet (MSD) to decrease cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents with obesity.
