Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) have high rates of diabetes.
• Asian Americans have higher rates of diabetes (9%) than non-Hispanic whites (7.6%).
• More than half (51%) of Asian Americans with diabetes are undiagnosed.
• Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders have especially high rates of diabetes (14.3%).
The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) has put together culturally-appropriate resources in 16 languages to help AANHPIs prevent and manage diabetes and improve their health
