Untangling the role of social support in type 2 diabetes
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) requires sustained behavioral changes to achieve glycemic control (GC) and prevent complications. Social support (SS) is key for self-care in chronic conditions, yet its impact on GC in low-resource settings remains understudied. This study explores the role of SS in T2DM management in a low-income community in Quito, Ecuador. Methods: We employed a mixed-methods approach with a parallel convergent design. A r…
Characteristics associated with optimal blood sugar in individuals living with type 2 diabetes in hard-to-reach rural communities
The intricate interplay of factors influencing diabetes management and optimal blood sugar suggests that targeted, context-specific and gender-sensitive public health strategies may be needed to address diabetes disparities in vulnerable populations
Hard-to-reach communities in the rural Ecuador
Prevalence and gender disparities of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity in Esmeraldas, Ecuador
We found alarming differences between the prevalence of T2DM and obesity in women and men that may be explained by gender roles, exacerbated in the rural context. Health promotion measures with a gender perspective should be adapted according to the characteristics of isolated rural contexts
