Peo­ple with di­a­betes in cor­rec­tion­al fa­cil­i­ties should re­ceive care that meets na­tion­al stan­dards. Be­cause it is es­ti­mat­ed that near­ly 80,000 in­mates have di­a­betes, cor­rec­tion­al in­sti­tu­tions should have writ­ten poli­cies and pro­ce­dures for the man­age­ment of di­a­betes and for the train­ing of med­i­cal and cor­rec­tion­al staff in di­a­betes care prac­tices. See the ADA po­si­tion state­ment “Di­a­betes Man­age­ment in Cor­rec­tion­al In­sti­tu­tions” (https://doi.org/10.2337/dc14-S104).
