Jennifer L West et al. Diabetes Spectr. .

Abstract

Diabetes care within prison walls offers challenges and opportunities for both health care providers and individuals living with diabetes. To meet the challenges, providers and patients work together to manage diabetes within the limitations imposed by imprisonment. Upon release, patients face new challenges, as they transition from incarceration into the community.
