Diabetes Prevention Program Aims at Saving Lives

by Corina Roberts (redbirds_vision [at] hotmail.com)
Diabetes is a deadly disease which plagues the Native American population. The Diabetes Prevention Program aims at saving lives through modifications in daily living habits that can prolong or prevent the onset of this insideous disease.
Diabetes Prevention Program Enrollment Open

United American Indian Involvement of Los Angeles, California is currently seeking pre-diabetic members of the Native American community to take part in a program that can reduce the risk for, and potentially prevent the onset of, diabetes.

To be eligible for the program you must be eighteen or older, have a CDIB card or letter, and be pre-diabetic; a term meaning that you possess the health factors which put you at risk for becoming diabetic.

If you have never been tested and believe you may be at risk for diabetes, testing is provided through United American Indian Involvement.

The Diabetes Prevention Program is both an educational and activity program, and a support group. Diabetes is a deadly, debilitating disease. Learn how you can reduce your risks and help your family and friends to stay healthy.

Participation in the program is free. Testing is free. Think of what you can offer your community as a healthy role model, and a healthy human being.

For more information contact United American Indian Involvement at (213) 202-3970.
