<unk> , in particular, non-insulin dependent<unk> , is prevalent in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations of Australia. As many as 1 in 20<unk>  are said to suffer from<unk> , and of this amount, Aboriginal people are three times as likely to succumb to this disease, in comparison to non-Aboriginal people. In contrast with type 1<unk> , which is a predisposed autoimmune condition, type 2<unk>  or insulin-resistant<unk> , is a preventable disease, heavily influenced by a multitude of socioeconomic factors. Sufferers of the disease are consequently more susceptible to chronic health issues, including heart disease and kidney failure. Conclusively, this has contributed to the 17 year life expectancy gap between Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people and in turn, has led to disparity and inequity of health between Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people.
