Diabetes in visible minority populations in Ontario.
Most published data on ethnic variations in diabetes care and outcomes come from the United States, and their generalizability to inform clinical care and policy making in Canada is limited. As a result, the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) has conducted several studies examining the burden of diabetes for and the quality of care received by visible minority populations in Ontario compared with the general population.
Senior scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and an endocrinologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, both in Toronto, Ontario. He is an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto. He can be reached at baiju.shah@ices.on.ca.
