Why your participation matters
Information learned from this study may help people living with type 1 diabetes from historically socially disadvantaged communities to start diabetes technologies. This could improve diabetes outcomes in these communities.
Identifying how use of diabetes technologies can be optimized among individuals from historically socially disadvantaged communities will justify to funders the benefits of further expanding access to diabetes technologies.
