South Asians have a one in three lifetime risk for the development of diabetes, developing the condition ten years earlier than Europids. The high social and economic burden of diabetes in South Asians is augmented by greater rates of attrition from renal and cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the epidemiology and pathogenesis of diabetes in South Asians, and potential strategies by which the condition could be prevented or delayed in this high risk group.

Key Words: diabetes • prevention • South Asian.
