چکیده
Several facets of NIDDM have particular relevance to Asian Indians. Firstly, it is now well recognised that the overall prevalence of diabetes is very high, not only among migrant Indians but also within the Indian subcontinent [1].

Finally, it is being increasingly recognised that the overall prevalence of coronary artery disease is higher among Indians (especially migrant Indians) compared to Europeans [3].
