Racial disparities in healthcare significantly affect people of color with diabetes. These disparities can lead to challenges in accessing quality care, resulting in worse health outcomes. People of color, including Black, Latino, Asian American, Pacific Islander, American Indian, and Native Hawaiian communities, often face higher risks of diabetes and its complications. Factors such as socioeconomic status, lack of health insurance, and institutional racism contribute to these disparities. For instance, Black and African Americans are more likely to experience higher rates of diabetes-related complications like kidney disease, hypertension, and heart disease. These conditions can be exacerbated by delayed diagnoses and limited access to appropriate treatments. To address these issues, several national organizations have initiated programs aimed at reducing disparities in diabetes care. The American Diabetes Association, for example, has launched initiatives to improve access to care and education for underserved communities. Additionally, finding culturally competent healthcare providers who understand and respect cultural differences can improve patient outcomes. Patients are encouraged to take an active role in their healthcare by establishing strong relationships with their doctors, asking questions, and seeking support from community resources. By being proactive and informed, people of color with diabetes can better navigate the healthcare system and advocate for their needs.
