Treatment and Monitoring of Adults with Diagnosed Diabetes by Race/Ethnicity, 2015-2016 |
Description: |
|
This Statistical Brief first presents estimates of the prevalence of reported diagnoses of diabetes for adults age 18 and older by race/ethnicity, and then focuses on differences among racial/ethnic groups in treatment and monitoring of the condition. The treatment methods considered include insulin injection, oral medications, and diet modification. Monitoring services by a health professional include blood cholesterol check, checking of feet for sores or irritations, eye exam with dilation, and blood check for hemoglobin A1C. Understanding differences in diabetic patients' receipt of these treatment and services by race/ethnicity may be helpful in directing resources for managing diabetes among diverse groups. |
