dc.description
dc.description.abstractDiabetes, as a disease of global concern, has drawn an immense amount of literature. The present paper contains a review on what is known about diabetes among the iTaukei (Indigenous people) in Fiji. It also provides an explanation on how people living with diabetes in Fiji manage their status and highlights the barriers that affect how patients suffering from the disease self-manage their illness.
