Core Tip	Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a global health problem and its rapid rise in prevalence in the Arab and Bedouin populations in Israel is responsible for the lower life expectancy among Israeli Arabs compared to Israeli Jews. An important high-risk group is adult Arab women in the 55 to 64 year age range where obesity rates approach 70%. Our review found high hospitalization rates for micro and macrovascular complications among diabetic patients of Arab and Bedouin origin. There is evidence that care and counseling relating to nutrition, physical activity and self-examination of the feet are unsatisfactory in these populations. In Israel, data from the quality indicators program demonstrated inequality in health and served as the basis for an intervention program in minority populations to improve the monitoring and control of diabetics in these populations. Preliminary data indicated that this program has a significant potential to reduce health inequality between the Jewish and Arab populations.
