Unpacking the Silent Killer: An Explanatory Model for T2DM Rates in Micronesia

Will Hays writes about type 2 diabetes in Micronesia for his final project in the Certificate in Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Studies. The Micronesian states – the Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau and the Republic of the Marshall Islands – carry a heavy burden of high rates of type 2 diabetes. How might this burden be understood? Hays explores this question in his paper Unpacking the Silent Killer: An Explanatory Model for T2DM Rates in Micronesia.
