Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review focuses on the epidemiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Indigenous communities in the continental United States (U.S.)-including disease prevention and management-and discusses special considerations in conducting research with Indigenous communities. RECENT FINDINGS: Previous studies have reported the disparately high prevalence of diabetes, especially T2D, among Indigenous peoples in the U.S. The high prevalence and incidence of early-onset T2D in Indigenous youth relative to that of all youth in the U.S. population pose challenges to the prevention of complications of diabetes. Behavioral, dietary, lifestyle, and genetic factors associated with T2D in Indigenous communities are often investigated. More limited is the discussion of the historical and ongoing consequences of colonization and displacement that impact the aforementioned risk factors. Future research is necessary to assess community-specific needs with respect to diabetes prevention and management across the diversity of Indigenous communities in the U.S.
