A new study found a connection between persistent racial residential segregation and worse diabetes health in young Black people with type 1 diabetes, even after controlling for the effects of household income and neighborhood adversity. “In the world of adult diabetes, there has been a lot of focus on social determinants of health, but in pediatrics, there has been less,” said coauthor Deborah A. Ellis. “It’s important that we are asking young patients with diabetes about factors in their life beyond just, ‘What are you doing to take care of your diabetes?’”
