The purpose of this report is to identify those groups of people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds that have a high prevalence or risk of diabetes compared with the Australian-born population. The report describes the demographics of these groups in relation to the size of the community, their proficiency in English, and location within Australia. The report also identifies gaps in the available literature and data.
