AB  - Objectives: Purpose of study is to explore the roles religiosity and fatalistic 
      beliefs play in diabetes management among newly, currently, and long-term 
      enrolled Mexican-American participants in a Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 
      chronic care management program. Methods: In 2017, study participants (n = 15) 
      completed a semi-structured interview in their preferred language (English or 
      Spanish). Sample was stratified by amount of time individual had been enrolled as 
      a participant of the Salud y Vida program: newly, currently, or long-term. 
      Interviews assessed religious beliefs, beliefs concerning the cause(s) of 
      diabetes, perceived relationship between religiosity and fatalistic beliefs with 
      T2DM management, and the appropriateness of discussing such topics with a health 
      professional. Interview responses were analyzed using ATLAS.ti 8. Results: Themes 
      identified included: perceived autonomy over diabetes prognosis, motivators for 
      self-care, discussions of personal beliefs in the healthcare setting, and the 
      church's role in diabetes management. Conclusions: Among this sample, religiosity 
      and religious fatalism played a complex role in coping with and managing 
      diabetes. Long-term enrolled and male participants expressed beliefs of divine 
      control over health, and a connection between religiosity and health behavior. 
      Long-term enrolled participants felt religious and fatalistic beliefs may be 
      suitable and beneficial to discuss in the healthcare setting.
