The diabetes prevention program began in October,
2001 with funding from the Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative, Health Canada. The program is
set up to offer the off reserve aboriginal people on the island portion of Newfoundland,
education in diabetes prevention. Our goal is to provide our people with the information
needed to prevent or at least delay Type 2 Diabetes.
Aboriginal people have a 3 to 5 times
higher rate of Type 2 Diabetes than the general population. Due to this risk the
aboriginal people need to have information to help them live a long and healthy life free
from diabetes. We look forward to bringing you many new and exciting events in the future;
please follow our links to find out health and diabetes information.
