“…This could be explained by lack of exercise and embracing a westernized life style coupled with sedentary types of jobs and hot and humid weather for around eight months of the year. All these factors preclude patients from embarking on physical activities along with a negative attitude towards exercise [32]. When educating patients on CAM use, health care workers should respect patients' choices while providing evidence-based information about efficacy and safety or the lack thereof.…”

Background: Scarce data exists on the utilization of complementary alternative medicine (CAM) among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in Qatar. Primary care clinics offer an ideal opportunity to explore the knowledge, attitudes and practice of CAM among patients with type II diabetes. Methods: A total of 226 subjects with type II diabetes were examined in this cross-sectional descriptive study. SPSS v. 19 was used to analyze the data and predictors of CAM use were identified through the utilization of multiple logistic regressions. Results: 53 % of respondents reported utilizing CAM. Females were 1.2 times more likely to use CAM than males. South East Asians (47.7%) were the most frequent users, followed by Iranians (37.6%) and Arabs (14.6%). Herbal powder (54.4%) was the most widely used, followed by bitter gourd (44%) and fenugreek (40%). Being South East Asian (odds ratio [OR] 5.297, 95 %, CI 2.892-9.377), Muslim (OR 5.259, 95%, CI 2.995-9.198) and attaining a secondary and higher education (OR 5.239, 95%, CI 2.898-9.595) were the only predictors for CAM use after adjustments for gender, ethnicity, religion, occupation, family household income and hypertension. Conclusions: This study showed a high prevalence of CAM usage among patients with type II diabetes living in Doha, Qatar. This use is associated with patients' family educational level, source of information, previous experience and their view about concomitant use of CAM and conventional medicine. The most-common complementary alternative medicinal products used were herbal powder, bitter gourd and fenugreek. Due to the high prevalence of usage of CAM future studies on the anti-glycemic properties of the utilized herbs should be carried out.

This review surveys the literature published on the characteristics and implications of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for the Arab and Bedouin populations of Israel. T2DM is a global health problem. The rapid rise in its prevalence in the Arab and Bedouin populations in Israel is responsible for their lower life expectancy compared to Israeli Jews. The increased prevalence of T2DM corresponds to increased rates of obesity in these populations. A major risk group is adult Arab women aged 55-64 years. In this group obesity reaches 70%. There are several genetic and nutritional explanations for this increase. We found high hospitalization rates for micro and macrovascular complications among diabetic patients of Arab and Bedouin origin. Despite the high prevalence of diabetes and its negative health implications, there is evidence that care and counseling relating to nutrition, physical activity and self-examination of the feet are unsatisfactory. Economic difficulties are frequently cited as the reason for inadequate medical care. Other proposed reasons include faith in traditional therapy and misconceptions about drugs and their side effects. In Israel, the quality indicators program is based on one of the world's leading information systems and deals with the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes. The program's baseline data pointed to health inequality between minority populations and the general population in several areas, including monitoring and control of diabetes. Based on these data, a pilot intervention program was planned, aimed at minority populations. This program led to a decrease in inequality and served as the basis for a broader, more comprehensive intervention that has entered the implementation stage. Interventions that were shown to be effective in other Arabic countries may serve as models for diabetes management in the Arab and Bedouin populations in Israel.

“…For example, the diabetes patients benefit a lot from culturally tailored diabetes education and management program and culturally sensitive patient-centred educational programme in Mexican Americans. [13,15] In this study, we also take the cultural background into consideration when making the tailed education program. As show in the previous studies, [19][20][21] after the HIV/AIDS THEP, most participants had significantly improved in their knowledge, awareness, and attitude towards HIV/AIDS prevention.…”

This study is to explore the effect of a tailored health education program (THEP) to enhance knowledge of human immunodeficiency virus infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) among migrant construction workers (MCWs) in Western China. The THEP was given to 434 MCWs working at three construction sites in Xi'an city, Shaanxi province from December 2011 to May 2012. The MCWs were invited to complete identical baseline and follow-up questionnaire surveys. Before the THEP was conducted, awareness of HIV/AIDS was poor among these MCWs. Knowledge and attitudes among the MCWs significantly improved after implementation of the program. In conclusions: THEPs that educate people regarding HIV/AIDS are urgently needed in China, especially for itinerant workers. THEPs can significantly improve knowledge and attitudes regarding HIV/AIDS.
