Despite advancements in diabetes care, many underserved Americans face barriers to managing their condition due to lack of access to screenings, medications, and disease management. While new innovations have helped some, others are left behind in accessing effective therapies. This disparity is exacerbated by fragmented care, limited resources, and socioeconomic constraints. Closing the gap requires a community-centered approach that integrates social drivers of health, data-driven insights, and patient-centered strategies. Proactive, data-driven care can reduce costs and prevent complications. Early detection and risk identification are crucial, and empowering communities through education and engagement can lead to better outcomes. Strengthening health equity through partnerships can improve diabetes care in underserved communities.
