Abstract
Diabetes in Ethnic Minorities in UK: The Role of Diet in Glucose Dysregulation and Prevalence of Diabetes
The aims of this paper are to evaluate the prevalence of diabetes among ethnic minority groups living in UK including Africans, Afro-Caribbeans and people from South Asia and to discuss the role of diet in glucose dysregulation and the prevalence of diabetes. People of African and Caribbean descent are two to four times likely to have diabetes than those of European ancestry. In addition, while the prevalence of diabetes is 3-10% among Europeans, it is 14-20% among Arab, migrant South Asian and Chinese populations
