Overview

Randomized trial evaluates glycemic control in African Americans with criminal justice involvement, suggesting future insurance considerations.

Key Points

  • Explore how social determinants of health impact glycemic control in African Americans post-incarceration with Type 2 diabetes.
  • Participants recruited from clinics, community centers, and places of worship in the Midwest.
  • Stepwise regression with forward selection assessed relationships between social/environmental factors and glycemic control.
  • Variables included age, comorbidity, medication type, length of incarceration, insurance, and housing status.
  • Combination of pills/oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin increased HbA1c (β-coefficient: 1.44; 95% CI: 0.77, 2.12).
  • Each additional comorbidity decreased HbA1c (β-coefficient: -0.25; 95% CI: -0.40, -0.11).
  • Medicare and Medicaid insurance were linked to higher HbA1c compared to private insurance (β-coefficient: 1.40; 95% CI: 0.43, 2.37; β-coefficient: 1.11; 95% CI: 0.12, 2.10).
