AB  - Lack of culturally sensitive, age-specific diabetes education in Mexican American 
      older aged people may contribute to deficits in diabetes knowledge, 
      self-management, and glycemic control. This quality improvement initiative 
      applied evidence-based, culturally competent, age-specific education to improve 
      health outcomes. A one-group, pretest/posttest design guided this project in a 
      primary care community clinic. Mexican American adults >60 years, with type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM; N = 12) received 3 months of biweekly innovative classes 
      including: healthy Mexican foods; family involvement; Spanish interpreter using 
      simultaneous earphone technology; and interactive, bilingual, large-print 
      materials. Paired sample t tests compared diabetes knowledge, self-management, 
      and A1C levels. There was a significant improvement in preeducation and 
      posteducation outcomes: knowledge, t(11) = -7.969, p = .000; d = 2.32, 
      self-management, t(11) = -7.930, p = .000; d = 2.43, and A1C levels, t(11) = 
      6.434, p = .000; d = 0.78. Culturally competent, language-friendly innovation, 
      age-specific T2DM education can positively impact knowledge, self-management 
      behaviors, and glycemic values in older aged Mexican American people.
