Diabetes disproportionately impacts racial and ethnic minorities and low-income adult populations in the U.S. Marginalized and underserved communities like the Black, Latinx, Asian American and Pacific Islanders, disabled and LQBTQ+ communities may struggle to receive the education and resources they deserve due to unique barriers they face.
Barriers may include a lack of culturally-sensitive providers, living in food deserts, lack of accessible and affordable healthcare and technology, being uninsured or underinsured and an overall lack of diabetes management support.
Regardless of gender, race, education or socioeconomic background, everyone with diabetes deserves access to affordable resources and services they need. If you are a person from an underserved community that lives with diabetes, use this directory to find organizations to get tools and support.
