Dietary education must fit into everyday life: a qualitative study of people with a Pakistani background and type 2 diabetes

摘要

BackgroundThe high prevalence of diabetes among South Asian populations in European countries partially derives from unhealthy changes in dietary patterns. Limited studies address perspectives of South Asian populations with respect to utility of diabetes education in everyday life. This study explores perspectives on dietary diabetes education and healthy food choices of people living in Denmark who have a Pakistani background and type 2 diabetes.
