This systematic review was published and presented at the 19th Diabetes Asia Pacific Conference in Melbourne, Australia. Its recommendations were forwarded and considered by the respective Liverpool and Fairfield City Councils with the intention of mitigating the diabetes epidemic in Western Sydney.
