Type 2 diabetes is a leading cause of death and disability for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and is responsible for the high prevalence of end-stage kidney disease, heart disease, blindness, and amputation. The Aboriginal Diabetes Study is a landmark program as a world-first longitudinal study of diabetes and its complications in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in South Australia.
