Type 2<unk>  is a detrimental condition commonly affecting Aboriginal<unk> . It is closely associated with obesity and is often a precursor for subsequent preventable diseases, including cardiovascular and renal disease. Hence,<unk>  is a major cause of the premature mortality of many Aboriginal<unk> . Increased occurrence of renal complications among Aboriginal people is attributed to environmental and genetic factors, as well as poor monitoring of glucose levels. Low birth weight causing lower renal volume, post infectious renal damage and obesity are also characteristically associated with chronic kidney disease and end stage kidney failure. Consequently,<unk> Aboriginal people are 8 times more likely to suffer from incidences of kidney failure than non-Aboriginal<unk> . Similarly, cardiovascular disease is the single greatest contributor to the disparity in life expectancy between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal<unk> . Obesity and increased waist circumference is an important risk factor, along with other modifiable influences including smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, low levels of physical activity. All of which contribute to the incidence of<unk>  and consequently, cardiovascular disease. Moreover, gestational<unk>  is a complication that not only causes harm to pregnant women but also leads to complications and<unk>  if the fetus. The prevalence of type 2<unk>  in Aboriginal<unk>  can also lead to retinopathy, whereby blood vessels in the eye are damaged as a direct result of this condition. Peripheral neuropathy is also common in<unk>  patients and in some cases can lead to chronic foot problems and even amputations.
