Controlled Clinical Trial
No clear effect of diabetes education on glycaemic control for Turkish type 2 diabetes patients: a controlled experiment in general practice.
In Turkish immigrant diabetics, problems with communication and cultural differences may hinder delivery of diabetes care. ⋯ Ethnic-specific diabetes education by Turkish female educators has no obvious beneficial effect on glycaemic control or cardiovascular risk profile. More focus on specific patient selection and gender equality between educators/patients may prove worthwhile.
