Social Determinants of Health and Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics in Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes.
July 1, 2026 · JAMA network open
Key takeaway
This study found that for Black people with diabetes, even with technology like continuous glucose monitors, things like insurance and neighborhood still make it harder to manage blood sugar. This means we need more than just devices; we need better support and education in our communities to truly improve health for our people.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in metabolic helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
