- Abstract
Disparities and inequities exist for individuals with diabetes in marginalized communities of color, especially among people with low socioeconomic status. Although these barriers are apparent, only a few care models have been designed for and examined in racially and ethnically diverse individuals. This article reviews models that have been developed and examined in a variety of different populations and focuses on how to implement elements from these programs in clinical practice. Health equity–promoting ideas and approaches that can be applied throughout the life span (children to seniors) are also included. As diabetes health care providers, researchers, educators, policymakers, and advocates, we must now combine our efforts and focus on historically excluded populations to bridge the gap to essential diabetes care.
