A group of medical experts say the way diabetes is treated in New Zealand is racist - but a solution at hand.
The co-authors of an editorial in the New Zealand Medical Journal, published today, are calling for the drug-buying agency Pharmac to fund two drugs that could dramatically improve the lives of people with diabetes.
They argue the failure to acquire the drugs until now is a symptom of intrinsic racial inequity.
Co-authors Dr Rawiri Jansen speaks to Susie Ferguson.
