Transgender and cisgender US veterans have few health differences.
The authors used population-level data for 2014-2016 from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to compare the health of transgender and cisgender veterans and civilians. They found that, while transgender civilians had worse health than cisgender civilians across most indicators, very few differences existed among veterans. They conclude that their findings largely suggest that transgender veterans do not have worse health than cisgender veterans.

High rates of severe hypoglycemia among African American patients with diabetes: the Surveillance, Prevention, and Management of Diabetes Mellitus (SUPREME-DM) network.
This seven-year surveillance study (2005-2011) evaluated race/ethnic differences in the trends in rates of severe hypoglycemia (SH) in a population of insured, at-risk adults with diabetes. Annual SH rates ranged from 1.8 percent to 2.1 percent during this 7-year observation period. African Americans had consistently higher SH rates compared with Whites, while Latinos and Asians had consistently lower rates compared with Whites in each of the 7 years.
