- 2:40How Where You Live Impacts Diabetes Care | Breakthroughs Can't WaitWhat if your diabetes care plan was tailored to where you live and the resources you can actually access?Olohitare (Abby) Abaku, a Summer Research Student at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, is studying how geolocational data—like proximity to grocery stores, clinics, and community resources—affects diabetes outcomes.By connecting the University of Maryland Medical System Diabetes Registry with GPS Health data, Abby’s research explores how food deserts and limited healthcare access disproportionately impact underserved communities, especially low-income families and people of color. Her findings show that distance to healthy food options and care directly influences a patient’s ability to manage blood glucose levels and prevent complications.Abby’s goal: to help clinicians create personalized treatment plans that reflect the realities of each patient’s environment, while informing policies that build healthier, more equitable communities.👉 Learn how this research could transform diabetes care and why Breakthroughs Can’t Wait at https://www.umaryland.edu/breakthroughs#Diabetes #HealthEquity #MedicalResearch #FoodDeserts #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #BreakthroughsCantWait
