TLDR
There is little sufficient or consistent evidence suggesting that it is independently associated with processes or outcomes of diabetes-related care, and it may be premature to routinely screen for low health literacy as a means for improving diabetes- related health-related outcomes.Abstract:
BACKGROUND
Low health literacy is considered a potential barrier to improving health outcomes in people with diabetes and other chronic conditions, although the evidence has not been previously systematically reviewed.read more

Oral Health Literacy, Preventive Behavior Measures, and Chronic Medical Conditions.
TL;DR: The results of this study show that dental school patients exhibit a range of health literacy abilities and preventive behaviors, and health literacy measures positively correlated with some preventive behaviors but not others.

Health literacy skills in type 2 diabetes mellitus outpatients from an university-affiliated hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
TL;DR: The results indicate the need for the development of health care instructions properly calibrated to the health literacy skills of DM2 patients, and only age and education, but not ethnic group and occupation, contributed significantly and independently to health literacy.

TL;DR: In this large, ethnically diverse sample of community-dwelling older adults, lower health literacy level is related to a greater likelihood of diabetes and higher A1C and fasting blood glucose levels in women-but not in men-after adjusting for age, race, and other demographic and lifestyle factors.

TL;DR: Physicians should consider modification of immunosuppressive regimens to decrease the risk of PTD in high-risk transplant recipients and Randomized trials are needed to evaluate the use of oral glucose-lowering agents in transplant recipients.

Low Health Literacy and Health Outcomes: An Updated Systematic Review
TL;DR: Low health literacy was consistently associated with more hospitalizations; greater use of emergency care; lower receipt of mammography screening and influenza vaccine; poorer ability to demonstrate taking medications appropriately; poorer able to interpret labels and health messages; and, among elderly persons, poorer overall health status and higher mortality rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolving concept of health literacy.
TL;DR: The paper concludes that both conceptualizations are important and are helping to stimulate a more sophisticated understanding of the process of health communication in both clinical and community settings, as well as highlighting factors impacting on its effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Literacy and health outcomes
TL;DR: Low literacy is associated with several adverse health outcomes and future research, using more rigorous methods, will better define these relationships and guide developers of new interventions.

TL;DR: Inadequate health literacy may contribute to the disproportionate burden of diabetes-related problems among disadvantaged populations and efforts should focus on developing and evaluating interventions to improve diabetes outcomes among patients with inadequate health literacy.
