Black and Hispanic communities face higher risks of diabetes due to a combination of social and economic factors. These include low income, which is linked to poor health outcomes because it limits access to healthcare and healthy food. Low health literacy in these communities makes it harder for individuals to understand and manage their health, leading to distrust in healthcare systems. Cultural beliefs also play a role; preventive care is often overlooked, and doctor visits are usually made only when someone is already sick. Additionally, long working hours and unsafe neighborhoods contribute to stress and unhealthy lifestyles, further increasing the risk of diabetes. To address these issues, several changes can help. Improving health literacy through better education and accessible information is crucial. Enhanced access to healthcare, including more diverse healthcare teams, can build trust and ensure better follow-up care. Fair healthcare policies that provide comprehensive insurance coverage are also essential. Finally, promoting culturally specific, healthy diets can make it easier for these communities to adopt healthier eating habits. Addressing these factors requires a collective effort from healthcare providers, policymakers, and community leaders.
