abstract: The issue of diabetes within the Latino population of the United States is of such magnitude that reviewing previously published studies on culturally oriented diabetes self-management interventions is imperative to further understanding and progress on this matter. The purpose of this revision is to illustrate what has been accomplished to date, analyze the lessons learned, and restate the importance of developing culturally relevant interventions for vulnerable populations.
