The literature on diabetes in the South Asian population clearly identifies the high-risk status of this group, which is primarily attributable to genetics, lifestyle risk factors, and the stress related to migration.

South Asians are 4-6 times more likely to develop diabetes than the general population: incidence rate of diabetes is 14% among South Asians versus 5.2% in the general population. In addition, South Asian communities often experience challenges accessing healthcare services due to language and cultural barriers.

Thus, the overall goal of the South Asian Diabetes Prevention Program is to enhance equitable access to diabetes prevention and management services as well as provide culturally-relevant and language-specific educational resources for South Asian communities within the North East region of Toronto.
