Question by gneva: Where can I find good resources about the causes of diabetes in Latinos?
I am doing a research paper on finding out the causes and possible solutions to the problem diabetes in immigrant Latinos but I only found two sites including the Kaiser site that have any relevent information. I need anything that has solid statistics and objective viewpoints(or at least close to it) on the subject. Thanks!
