DIABETES – LIFETIME SOLUTIONS

"Diabetes - Lifetime Solutions" is a half-hour documentary about the prevention, care and maintenance of Diabetes in First Nations communities.  The video looks at the history and present-day factors contributing to the fastest rising disease amongst Native American and Canadian Aboriginals - diabetes.  This is a culturally sensitive video that not only covers the basics of what diabetes is and how you get it, but talks about factors unique to Native communities.  The program explores different ways of preventing diabetes, such as improved diet and exercise as well as reduction of stress.  For those with diabetes, the program emphasizes methods of maintaining good health and blood sugar levels.  The video is designed for Native and non-Native health professionals, hospitals, and community groups seeking to provide diabetes information to First Nations.
