This chapter examines several information technology (IT) challenges associated with diabetes in order to provide informatics researchers with insights about the social and organizational factors associated with the disease. It describes social and organizational informatics issues related to every stage of diabetes, from the public health issues to the self-care issues that face most patients with diabetes as they live with the disease. It also discusses information problems associated with the risk of diabetes, the management of electronic records, and information exchange.
