South Asians in BC are twice as likely to be diagnosed with diabetes compared to the Caucasians and Chinese populations. 

NaMaSTe diabetes is a research study for South Asians withpoorly controlled Type 2 diabetes in Surrey. 

60-65% of South Asian patients living in BC do not adhere to their diabetes medications vs. 30-35% of general population.

We aim to improve medication adherence and diabetes control through a culturally tailored intervention including the family member, provision of peer support, and diabetes education.
