Wendy Marcason*

This study investigates the disparities in medical services usage among adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), shedding light on the multifaceted factors contributing to variations in healthcare access and utilization. Recognizing the importance of equitable healthcare delivery, this research employs a comprehensive analytical approach to identify and understand the existing disparities, their root causes, and potential avenues for improvement. Through a systematic review of current literature, epidemiological studies, and healthcare utilization data, this study analyzes the patterns of medical services usage among diverse demographic groups of adults with T2D. Key focus areas include disparities in primary care access, specialty services utilization, medication adherence, and preventive care practices. Preliminary findings reveal notable discrepancies in medical services utilization, influenced by factors such as socio-economic status, geographic location, cultural considerations, and healthcare system structures. The study discusses the impact of these disparities on health outcomes, emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes to achieve more equitable healthcare delivery. The outcomes of this research aim to inform healthcare policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders about the nuanced challenges associated with medical services usage among adults with T2D. By identifying disparities and understanding their determinants, this study contributes to the development of targeted interventions and policy initiatives, fostering a more inclusive and accessible healthcare environment for individuals managing Type 2 Diabetes.
