Obesity rates are higher in non-white BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color), and obesity increases an individual’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes, among other factors like genetic predisposition.

Thank you @GovKristiNoem for declaring today, April 15, TYPE 1 DIABETES DAY! 🥳💙 If someone in your family lives with diabetes, we recommend getting screened for the condition in order to prepare for a diagnosis and reduce the risk of health complications.
On our Disparities in Diabetes Brown Bag webinar, Kacey Creel discusses “making good trouble” to push the status quo and make #diabetes affordable for everyone.
Not only are racial and ethnic minorities & people with lower socioeconomic status more likely to have diabetes, but they are also more likely to suffer complications and have higher A1c levels.
IN 2 DAYS: Join leaders at DPAC, @NMQF, and @diversity_DM_ to discuss disparities in diabetes and how to fight for health equity as a diabetes advocate! Register: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
Racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected by diabetes, yet still face barriers in accessing the tools required to manage it. Our goal in increasing access and affordability is to improve the health outcomes of EVERYONE living with diabetes.
Our friend & DPAC Champion Shay Webb talks about racial disparities within the #diabetes community & our collective responsibility to advocate for equitable access to care.
If you have diabetes, you are probably up late at night stressed about “what if...”s all the time. This week and next, DPAC is here to help you become as prepared as possible!
The more prepared you are, the better – not only will you have more resources, but you can feel more at ease because everyday highs and lows are stressful enough!
