Core Tip	Current estimates suggest that type 2 dia-betes affects approximately 9% of Asian Americans overall. However, when examining disaggregated data across different ethnic groups Filipino, Pacific Islander, Japanese, and South Asian groups consistently have the highest prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This highlights how aggregating Asian Americans into one category can potentially mask the disease burden in high risk groups, while inflating the burden in low risk groups. Prevention efforts therefore need be culturally tailored to meet the unique needs of the various Asian American ethnic groups. In addition, prevention efforts should address both individual and population level strategies.
