What is this study about?
We want to learn about your experience living with diabetes. We want to understand how social factors, like moving to Canada from another country, might be related to these high rates of diabetes.
We are doing interviews with people who came from Sri Lanka to Canada in the last 20 years. In these interviews, we will ask questions about what it was like to move to Canada. We will also ask about your experience with diabetes.
