In conclusion, South Carolina has a higher prevalence of diabetes compared to the national average. Age is a major factor associated with increased prevalence. African Americans had a disproportionately higher prevalence of diabetes relative to white Americans in South Carolina. Compared to the standards of diabetes care recommended by the ADA, health care practice by people with diabetes and health professionals still needs to be improved. Diabetes communication programs, including diabetes education for people with diabetes and health professional education, continue to be necessary for the improvement of diabetes care.
总之，与全国平均水平相比，南卡罗来纳州糖尿病的患病率更高。年龄是患病率增加的一个主要相关因素。在南卡罗来纳州，非裔美国人患糖尿病的患病率相对于美国白人高得不成比例。与美国糖尿病协会推荐的糖尿病护理标准相比，糖尿病患者和医疗专业人员的医疗实践仍需改进。糖尿病沟通项目，包括对糖尿病患者的糖尿病教育和医疗专业人员教育，对于改善糖尿病护理仍然是必要的。
