Authors' conclusion
Pre-incarceration factors were not associated with glycaemic control in African Americans with a history of criminal legal involvement and type 2 diabetes.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Factors associated with HbA1c (fully adjusted model)
Pills/oral hypoglycaemic agents plus insulin vs oral agents only, β
1.30 (0.60, 1.99) (95% CI)
Insulin or injectables alone vs oral agents only, β
0.87 (0.07, 1.67) (95% CI)
Each additional comorbidity, β (95% CI); 0.22% decrease in HbA1c
−0.22
−0.37, −0.08
Each unit increase in age, β (95% CI); 0.05% decrease in HbA1c
−0.05
