Multivariate analysis: For the multivariate model, the stepwise selection criterion was used, defining the level of significance (5%; p < 0.05) as the criterion for including variables in the model. Blank line - variable not included in the specific model of the region.

Tested variables: Demographic - gender; race; marital status; education; residential area; income; age; time diag and HbA1c.

COVID-19 questions - Difficulty accessing to diabetes supplies; difficulty to pay for the very basic; being worried to lose job.

Being worried to lose housing; being worried to lose insurance; difficulty accessing to healthy food; difficulty accessing to safe places to exercise.

Difficulty accessing to diabetes care; diabetes self-care has been affected; avoided approaching diabetes facilities.
