Meal-plate Method: Hemoglobin A1c Levels and Dietary Behavior Among Hispanics with Diabetes and Varying Levels of Acculturation Over Three Months.
Objective: We studied education with the meal-plate method among Hispanics with uncontrolled diabetes and its impact on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and dietary behaviors over three months.
Methods: Retrospective study of 102 Hispanics with HbA1c of eight percent or greater. Patients received physician-led education about the meal-plate method. Acculturation measures were the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH) and years lived in the United States. HbA1c and dietary behaviors were recorded at baseline and at three-month follow-up.
Results: Education with the meal-plate method was associated with lower HbA1c and improved dietary behavior of less juice-drinking and less cake/pastry/cookie-eating. Media acculturation on SASH was positively associated with appropriate juice-drinking at baseline. Years lived in the United States was positively associated with appropriate juice-drinking at follow-up.
Conclusions: Meal-plate method education, even if delivered by a solo clinician outside of an interdisciplinary program, can reduce HbA1c levels in people who are Hispanic.
