National Diabetes Education Program. American Indian and Alaska Native Community Partnership Guide: Supplement and Activity Plans. Revised 2004

摘要

Recent research studies have shown that individuals with diabetes can reduce their risk of developing the complications of diabetes by lowering their blood glucose levels through healthy eating, exercise, taking their medications, and monitoring their blood glucose levels. More recently, the Diabetes Prevention Program research study showed that it is possible to prevent diabetes by healthy lifestyle changes. In addition to our 'Move It' campaign, we are releasing new materials this year to help educate AIANs of all ages that they can prevent diabetes. Making sure that every AIAN hears these messages of hope is our primary goal.
