Dietary practices are deeply rooted in history and culture. Anthropologists have long recognized that food choices and modes of eating reflect many symbolic, affective, familial, and gender-specific associations. African-American women with type 2 diabetes may find that modifying their dietary patterns is particularly challenging given the highly ritualized nature of eating and food selection and the meanings encoded in foods and food-centered events in the African-American experience. When health care providers understand the historical and social shaping of food patterns, they can work in partnership with people with type 2 diabetes to shift cultural norms toward healthy eating.

"Watoa huduma za afya wanapoelewa muundo wa kihistoria na kijamii wa mifumo ya chakula, wanaweza kufanya kazi kwa ushirikiano na watu wenye ugonjwa wa kisukari wa aina ya 2 kubadilisha kanuni za kitamaduni kuelekea kula afya.
