DIVERSITY
& DIABETES Where you’re from — and the language you speak — can have a big impact on your risk for diabetes. Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds tend to be at higher risk for conditions connected to developing diabetes, although the reasons why can be as complex to understand as they are to address. In a special feature this issue, we look at what the diabetes risks are for people from CALD backgrounds and check out some programs designed to make a difference to groups whose needs often go unheard.
