Resumen
Diabetes inequities exist from diabetes prevention to outcomes and are rooted in the social drivers (determinants) of health. Historical policies such as "redlining" have adversely affected diabetes prevalence, control, and outcomes for decades. Advancing diabetes equity requires multimodal approaches, addressing both individual-level diabetes education, self-management, and treatment along with addressing social needs, and working to improve upstream drivers of health. All individuals affected by diabetes must advocate for policies to advance diabetes equity at the organizational, local, state, and federal levels. Centering diabetes efforts and interventions on equity will improve diabetes treatment and care for all.
