Characteristics associated with optimal blood sugar in individuals living with type 2 diabetes in hard-to-reach rural communities
The intricate interplay of factors influencing diabetes management and optimal blood sugar suggests that targeted, context-specific and gender-sensitive public health strategies may be needed to address diabetes disparities in vulnerable populations
Hard-to-reach communities in the rural Ecuador
Prevalence and gender disparities of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity in Esmeraldas, Ecuador

Contextualizing Evidence for Action on Diabetes in Low-Resource Settings—Project Cead Part-II, Strengthening the Health System
Diabetes is a major public health problem, increasingly affecting low- and middle-income countries. The project CEAD (Contextualizing Evidence for Action in Diabetes in low-resource settings) aims to evaluate the implementation of comprehensive diabetes care in two low-resource settings in Ecuador and to stimulate context-led health systems innovations to improve diabetes care and reduce inequity. The mixed-methods approach includes a 24-month re…
