Even At Healthy Weights, Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders At Far Greater Risk For Diabetes

UPI reports people from minority groups with a normal body mass index are still at high risk for diabetes.
Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are more than three times as likely to develop type 2 diabetes as whites with a normal BMI.
According to UPI, overall, researchers at Kaiser Permanente say the group has an 18 percent risk of Type 2 diabetes.
The researchers couldn't find any differences in income and education levels that accounted for the racial and ethnic differences.
