Comparative Study Observational Study
[Poorer diabetes control among the immigrant population than among the autochthonous population].
Ethnic differences are known to exist in the prevalence of diabetes, but little is known about possible differences in the degree of diabetes control among ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in diabetes detection and control between immigrants and the autochthonous population in our health region. ⋯ Diabetes control and quality indicators are poorer in some immigrant groups.
