*Results are weighted to be representative of the California population and to account for complex survey design effects. Reported percentages are not adjusted for covariates. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) are adjusted for age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, nativity, income, urbanicity, insurance status, number of visits to the doctor, access to an automobile, duration of diabetes, general health condition and psychological distress
