Cultural note regarding persuasive discussions around diet and exercise:

You might be tempted to talk about all the great health benefits for the individual patient when they are able to improve their diets and get on a regular exercise routine. Of course that stuff is important – HOWEVER – this may not be the most persuasive approach for your everyday Spanish speaker. If you’re speaking to an adult, they are probably less motivated by their own individual health improvements as they are motivated by what staying healthy means to their family and loved ones.

Motivational interviewing and patient centered approaches to diabetes management will get you there eventually, but you might just keep in mind that you may get better traction with your SSO patients when you talk about staying healthy so they can be there for their family instead of staying healthy so they feel great, lose weight, and look better.
