COVID-19 impacts and inequities among underserved communities with diabetes.

Background: People with diabetes have higher COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. These risks are amplified for underserved communities including racial/ethnic minorities and people with lower socioeconomic status. However, limited research has examined COVID-19 outcomes specifically affecting underserved communities with diabetes.

Tobacco-related health inequalities among Black Americans: A narrative review of structural and historical influences.

We conducted a narrative literature review to examine contributing factors of disparities in tobacco usage and outcomes affecting Black Americans. We propose potential solutions that can be used to effectively address these disparities. We identified historical factors; socioeconomic factors; targeted marketing/advertising; the influence of racism/discrimination; neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage; and mass incarceration.

Psychological Outcomes of the COVID-19 Pandemic on People with Type 1 Diabetes Globally: A Scoping Review.

Background: People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face heightened risks for morbidity and mortality from the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19). They also have elevated risks for disparate psychological outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic, given their predisposition to mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression, and skyrocketing rates of these conditions among the general population.

Methods: To investigate the psychological ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with T1D globally, we conducted a scoping review of recent literature across eight online databases.

The Women's Leadership Gap in Diabetes: A Call for Equity and Excellence.

Women are broadly underrepresented in scientific leadership positions and their accomplishments are not provided equal recognition compared with those of men, but the imbalance in the field of diabetes is unknown. Hence, we analyzed multiple aspects of historical and present-day female representation in the diabetes field.We quantified gender representation at annual American Diabetes Association (ADA) meetings; editorial board service positions for ADA and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) journals; principal investigators for ADA, JDRF, and National Institutes of Health National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases P30 grant funding; and ADA, JDRF, and EASD award recipients.
