Globally, Indigenous people have a greater incidence and earlier onset of diabetes than the general population and have higher documented rates of emotional distress and mental illness. This systematic review will provide a synthesis and critical appraisal of the evidence focused on the social and emotional well-being of Indigenous peoples living with diabetes, including prevalence, impact, moderators, and the efficacy of interventions.

Researchers will work with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander women in SA to devise better ways to care for women at risk of pregnancy complications caused by diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
