We examined diabetes manage ment practices among Hispanics, Blacks, and 3 Asian American sub groups in New York City. Compared with Blacks and Hispanics, all 3 Asian American subgroups had lower average rates of diabetes manage ment practices. Compared with Blacks, Chinese and Koreans were significantly less likely to partici pate in all diabetes management behaviors and practices, whereas
Asian Indians were significantly less likely to perform feet checks or un dergo an eye examination. Results demonstrated the need for health care provider interventions and training to support diabetes manage ment among Asian Americans.
