November is American Diabetes Month

November is American Diabetes Month, which provides an opportunity to highlight the ongoing progress that engages tribal communities in prevention, outreach and education. For those diagnosed with diabetes, everyday decisions can sometimes seem overwhelming. But there are ways the Indian Health Service can help. The IHS Division of Diabetes and Prevention, Area Diabetes Consultants and the Tribal Leaders Diabetes Committee work with the Special Diabetes Program for Indians grants to provide diabetes treatment and prevention services to IHS, tribal and urban Indian health programs.
