Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease with high impact on both the morbidity and mortality worldwide. It affects social groups and individuals with differing social conditions and hierarchies. This work aims to identify the evidence of the relationships between social inequalities regarding the disease process, treatment and health care for type 2 diabetes mellitus. To do so, a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted among indexed journals published during 2016-2018. In general, the results showed that the social inequalities mostly due to the ethnic/race and socioeconomic reasons have effects on the incidence and treatment of type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, regarding the gender there is a variable behavior between men and women.
