Funded Activity Summary

Diabetes is a growing epidemic, with diabetic retinopathy being one of its common complications. With an ageing population, the public health and economic impact associated with diabetes are expected to magnify. Among the risk factors for sub-optimal diabetes care, language proficiency and cultural differences have been indicated. However, there is little to no research into the barriers of diabetes care in Australia�s non-English speaking population, which is the purpose of the proposed study.
