INTRODUCTION
Diabetes has a significant impact on migrants and different people coming from varied
ethnic backgrounds. It is a chronic disease which has a negative impact on the health of the
migrants as they have less access to healthcare and different resources which are needed for
successfully procuring this disease. Diabetes among is higher among the population which are
migrated from different parts of the world to UK ass their economic status is lower than the
native population of UK (Forouhi and Wareham, 2019). It is important to measure the impact of
this disease on the migrated population in order top find appropriate ways to resolve this issue
and provide them, with better aid. The UK government has given due consideration to the
driving forces of this condition such as their poor living standards, high consumption of fats on a
regular basis, etc. which contributes towards increasing the negative impact of this issue on the
migrated population.
Rationale:
Diabetes has a negative impact on the sustainability of the migrated and ethnic minorities in
the UK which reduces their ability to maintain their health properly. The main purpose to discuss
this topic is to evaluate different solutions for reducing the negative impact of this problem and
providing better services to the people (Guo and et.al., 2020). It will be beneficial to get a better
idea of the different ways which are helpful in improving their health conditions of these people
and provide better assistance to theme for living a secure life ahead.
