Culturally Tailored Diabetes Dietary Education Among Nepali and Bhutanese Community

Pramoj Adhikari, RN, BSN is the 2022 candidate for DNP-FNP at the Pacific Lutheran University and is an active community member of Nepal Seattle Society and the newly formed Nepali Health Board. In guidance with Nepal Seattle Society, Nepali Health Board and Bhutanese Community Resource Center, especially in participant recruitment, Pramoj was able to go door-to-door and provide education geared toward Nepali diet. This webinar was made possible under Project Spring Forward funded by Department of Health. Please watch to learn about his project findings and how you can incorporate some of the stuff discussed in your day-to-day life!

On the morning of May 7th, Pramoj Adhikari presented his study findings to the community and we had around seventeen participants. Our questions and answers session was very engaging and interactive and we had great questions like what type of rice to eat and when to eat rice as we Nepali love rice.

Sachin Gurung, one of the participants who works as Software Engineer at Amazon shared,

“Very informative presentation. Loved it. Looking forward to future projects!”

Pramoj shared that the next phase of the project is going to be creating informative materials about what to eat as a Nepali living abroad with pre-diabetes.
