Hispanic populations lack proper health care resources and proper awareness of what and how Diabetes effects their health. The Texas Institute of Diabetes has established a plan with a series of strategies that will improve diabetic management in the Mexican population of Texas. The plan created includes cultural competence and communication to improve the health of the Mexican population.
