Diabetes is more common among all members of racial and ethnic minorities studied than among Whites. Nearly 13 percent of Hispanics/Latinos age 20 and older have been diagnosed with diabetes, as have 9 percent of Asian Americans.¹

Among Hispanics/Latinos, diabetes is more common among Puerto Ricans and Mexican Americans; it is less common among Cubans and Central and South Americans, but even among these groups, diabetes is more common than it is among Whites.¹
