Raising awareness of this ever-growing disease is one of the main efforts behind the mission of Diabetes Awareness Month, with programs to focus the communi- ties’ attention on the issues surrounding diabetes and the many people that are impacted by the disease. To overcome diabetes, we look inward. We have the an- swers inside ourselves. These are strong, wise words that we’ve heard from our ancestors; and, if we listen, we will find the way to good health and life. The calendar is designed to help you on your journey to wellness. Many have heard the words from Health Program staff; on what to eat, how often to exercise and how to take care of our bodies. We know more about diabetes now that your chances for better blood sugar control means less chance for problems with your eyes, feet, heart and kidneys. Feel good by learning balance. There’s more things to learn to prevent diabetes, and, throughout the month of November, the Hopi Special Diabetes Program will be hosting various events. We encourage the communities to be daring and come out to the activities that are scheduled. Diabetes education is an area that can strengthen our communities and individuals in learning more about carbohydrate counting, avoiding complications, meal planning and much, much more. For more information, contact the Hopi Special Diabetes Program at (928) 734-3432.
