Comparative results from national strategies for diabetes care and prevention are needed to understand the impact and barriers encountered during the implementation process. Long-term outcomes are limited, but results on intermediate outcomes and processes of diabetes care measures are available from translational research studies. In this narrative review, we highlight programs with nationwide reach, targeting various ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic populations with diabetes. We describe the implementation strategies, the impact on clinical outcomes, specific barriers, and cost-effectiveness results of national efforts aimed at improving diabetes care and prevention in the USA.

Background: Rural populations in the United States face a diabetes mortality penalty. Self-management is a core component of treatment for type 2 diabetes, but there is low uptake of self-management education and support interventions in rural areas. Rural structural barriers to diabetes self-management have been described, yet the role of rural culture has not been extensively explored.

The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing worldwide, along with the associated common comorbidities of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in later life. Motivated by evidence for a strong genetic component, our prior genome-wide association study (GWAS) efforts for childhood obesity revealed 19 independent signals for the trait; however, the mechanism of action of these loci remains to be elucidated. To molecularly characterize these childhood obesity loci, we sought to determine the underlying causal variants and the corresponding effector genes within diverse cellular contexts.
