Summary :
The Pima Indians of Arizona have contributed enormously to knowledge of risk factors for type 2 diabetes. This information together with confirmatory studies in other populations led to the Diabetes Prevention Prgram (DPP) which showed that diabetes could be delayed or prevented equally well in American Indians and other ethnic groups in the USA. The current status of Primary and Secondary prevention activities among the Pima Indians is reviewed.
