Prevention of type 2 diabetes in migrant populations from low- and middle-income countries living in high-income countries.

ABSTRACT: The rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes among migrant populations from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) living in high-income countries (HICs) presents a significant public health challenge. Migrants often experience lifestyle changes, socioeconomic disadvantages and barriers to accessing healthcare, which can increase their risk for type 2 diabetes. This review explores the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes in these migrant populations, emphasising the need for culturally sensitive strategies. Key interventions for mitigating the burden of type 2 diabetes include tailored dietary and physical activity programmes, community-based initiatives and healthcare models that consider social determinants of health and integrate traditional beliefs with evidence-based practices
