Type 2 diabetes monitoring and control in migrants and non-migrants: A population-based cohort study in primary care in the Netherlands
Most migrant groups were equally or better monitored for T2D-parameters compared to non-migrants, but were less likely to meet HbA1c targets. This might partly reflect the less frequent insulin prescriptions to migrants. Further research is needed on underlying mechanisms and the specific needs of migrant groups to optimize T2D-care for all.
