OBJECTIVES: This report assessed the cost and burden of diabetes in broad terms of economic status, underlying disability, and barriers to health care--that is, as reflected in employment, income, disability days, general health status, and access to medical care. METHODS: We used the 1990 to 1995 Behavioral Risk Factor Survey in Oklahoma to compare persons with diabetes with age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity-matched respondents without diabetes. RESULTS: Persons with diabetes were significantly and substantially worse off on all economic, disability, and access measures. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with nondiabetic persons, diabetic persons have fewer resources to deal with higher levels of disability and poorer health status.
