Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a common and costly disease, affecting millions of working age adults in the United States. Although many risk factors for diabetes are well described and manageable, the management of diabetes in the occupational setting is not well defined.
Methods: This study used a 17-item survey to explore the practices and perceptions of occupational medicine providers in Michigan on the management and prevention of diabetes in the workplace.
Results: Most providers utilize many strategies to manage diabetes. Nonetheless, results from the survey demonstrate variability in practices. Most providers indicate that specific guidelines for caring for workers with diabetes would be useful.
Conclusion: A specific guideline would help delineate the role of an occupational health provider in managing diabetes and support better outcomes for the many patients with diabetes who work.
