Social determinants play a significant role in diabetes management, influencing access to healthcare, adherence to treatment, and overall health outcomes. Factors such as socioeconomic status, education level, food security, housing stability, and social support networks can affect patients’ ability to manage their condition effectively. Addressing these determinants involves integrating community resources, providing culturally appropriate education, and ensuring equitable access to medications, monitoring tools, and healthcare services. Healthcare providers must consider the broader social context to develop patient-centered care plans that are practical, sustainable, and effective. By addressing social determinants, diabetes care can become more equitable, improving adherence, glycemic control, and long-term health outcomes across diverse populations.
