Cover Story: Many undocumented migrants living in western countries have type 2 diabetes and have limited access to Healthcare Services. In this study, we evaluated possible differences in diabetes treatment between undocumented migrants receiving medical assistance by a charity in Milano, Italy, and a group of Italian patients followed at a diabetic clinic of the National Health Service. Undocumented migrants received less medication for diabetes (PRR: 0.92, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.00) and cardiovascular conditions (PRR: 0.68, 0.60 to 0.76); the most innovative anti-diabetics were rarely prescribed to undocumented migrants, while older medications such as sulfonylureas were more frequently used. We discuss the possible causes of this phenomenon. Greater efforts are needed to grant an appropriate treatment for diabetes and its comorbidities to undocumented migrants. View this paper
