BACKGROUND The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is greater in South Asian populations and health outcomes are poorer compared with other ethnic groups. British South Asians are up to six times more likely to have T2D than the general population, to develop the condition at a younger age, and to experience diabetes-related complications. Interventions to support people in managing their condition can potentially reduce debilitating complications. Evidence to support the use of digital devices in T2D management, including mobile phones, has shown positive impacts on glycemic control. There is increasing recognition that health interventions that are culturally adapted to the needs of specific groups are more likely to be relevant and acceptable, but evidence to support the effectiveness of adapted interventions is limited and inconclusive. OBJECTIVE This formative study aimed to explore the perceptions and views of British South Asian patients with T2D on mobile health SMS text messaging to support medication adherence, aimed at the general UK population. METHODS Eight exploratory focus groups were conducted in Leicester, the United Kingdom, between September 2017 and March 2018. A diverse sample of 67 adults took part. RESULTS British South Asian people with T2D who use digital devices, including mobile phones, felt that short messages to support medication adherence would be acceptable and relevant, but they also wanted messages that would support other aspects of self-management too. Participants were particularly interested in content that met their information needs, including information about South Asian foods, commonly used herbs and spices, natural and herbal approaches used in the United Kingdom and in South Asia, and religious fasting. Short messages delivered in English were perceived to be acceptable, often because family members could translate for those unable to read or understand the messages. Suggestions to support patients unable to understand short messages in English included having them available in different formats, and disseminated in face-to-face groups for those who did not use digital devices. CONCLUSIONS Exploring the views of British South Asian patients about SMS text messaging aimed at the general UK population is important in maximizing the potential of such an intervention. For such a digital system to meet the needs of UK South Asian populations, it may also have to include culturally relevant messages sent to those who opt to receive them. It is equally important to consider how to disseminate message content to patients who do not use digital devices to help reduce health inequalities.

Abstract Background The Peers Supporting Health Literacy, Self-efficacy, Self-Advocacy, and Adherence (Peers LEAD) program is a culturally tailored educational-behavioral 8-week intervention that addressed psychosocial and sociocultural barriers to diabetes medication adherence in African Americans. A brief 3-week version of the Peers LEAD intervention used a community engagement approach to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention amongst patient stakeholders. Main body African Americans who were adherent to their diabetes medicines were paired with those who were non-adherent to their medicines. Together, they participated in the group and phone-based medication adherence intervention. Input from this brief intervention was important for the design of the remainder weeks of the 8-week program. The intervention targeted negative beliefs about diabetes, use of diabetes medicines, and offering culturally tailored peer support to improve medication adherence in African Americans. To receive input in the development and implementation of the program, we worked with community advisors and a peer ambassador board of African Americans who were adherent to their diabetes medicines. The peer ambassador board and community advisors reviewed intervention materials to ensure they were understandable and appropriate for the community. As well, they provided feedback on the process for intervention delivery. Conclusion The active engagement of the peer ambassador board and community advisors led to a revised intervention process and materials for a medication adherence program for African Americans with type 2 diabetes.

Culturally Tailored

South Asians have an exceptionally high risk for developing Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is very challenging for healthcare providers to successfully manage diabetes and control glucose levels at target due to the unique lifestyle of the South Asian population. Culturally tailored diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) can be more effective in guiding South Asian patients with Type 2 diabetes. Unique considerations to address lifestyle modification for South Asians include a diet that typically consists of a high carbohydrate to lipids/proteins ratio, preference for high glucose index fruits, regular intake of traditional sweets or desserts, late afternoon tea break followed by late dinner, lack of vigorous exercise (yoga or walking being the preferred activity), lack of DSMES knowledge and skills, and poor access to culturally appropriate resources for diabetes care. We present a 38-year-old male diagnosed with diabetes four years ago who showed poor glucose control before our intervention. Our interventions included education on the importance of blood glucose monitoring, exercise, and diet. Based on our experience with this case, we propose the following recommendations for a tailored approach to DSMES for South Asian patients with Type 2 diabetes: make appropriate dietary changes (decrease total daily caloric intake, decrease the percentage of carbohydrates, addlow glucose index fruits and vegetables, avoid late afternoon tea breaks, eat dinner before 8 PM); incorporate appropriate daily physical activity; and monitor blood glucose daily for prompt feedback.
