- Abstract
The article examines the prevalence of diabetes in different Asian American, Native Hawaiian (NH), and Pacific Islander (PI) (AANHPI) populations to identify the similarities and differences. It states that type 1 diabetes in the AANHPI populations is quite rare, with five-to 10-fold less than that observed in the white population. The challenges and barriers in diabetes management among AANHPI are also discussed.
