We love our patients. We want them to live their best lives. We have several useful programs here at LBU that can help our patients with diabetes management.
In the United States, the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) are higher among the Hispanic population than the general population. In addition to a genetic predisposition to obesity and increased insulin resistance, sociocultural variables including poorer income and restricted access to healthcare and education are also contributing factors in this situation.
