| Abstract |
This paper studies the relationship between education and diabetic health investment. It examines how education affects diabetic health investment proxies such as smoking propensity, BMI, blood sugar control, and diet. Results indicate that increased education raises diabetic health investments. However, this increase in health investments is less for diabetics than for non-diabetics. |
