Posts: 597 Apr 7, 2009	Tags : None Below is a link to the site: Seva Foundation ~ Compassion in Action This site has many programs according to what I read and has a program aimed towards helping the American Indian communities with diabetes. It also has Community Grants. Did not go through the whole site, so, I do not know what all it entails. But they use the term *" The Silent Killer "* for a reason and that being, most are not aware that they have it. So, I am urging you to see your family physician to determine whether or not you have this particular health problem. Please take the time to go to this site and see if any of the information there will be of assistance to you, a family member or a close friend. Besides, I've grown accustomed to having you here with me and would not like to lose you now that we have met. Please, if not today, then as soon as possible. Thank You, Skye http://www.seva.org/

Posts: 597 Apr 7, 2009	NARTC stands for Native American Research and Training Center These are only excerpts from this site...It is up to the individualto follow through. Type 2 Diabetes: Indigenous American Youth and Impact on Minority Youth * Also known as NIDDM(non-insulin-dependent mellitus, adult onset), type 2 differs considerably from the more familiar type 1 diabetes(insulin-dependent, juvenile onset). While children with type 1 diabetes require insulin for survival, those with type 2 may or may not require it, depending upon how well their diabetes is controlled. The possibility that the condition can be managed with diet and exercise underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and early intervention. Everywhere researchers looked, the disease was on the rise; catchphrases such as "the new smallpox." Type 2 diabetes is already epidemic in many American Indian tribes and has been increasing among Hispanic and African American adults in the United States. More ominously, the condition, usually associated with persons in their 40's and older, is now being diagnosed in minority children as young as 6 years old, with potentially devastating consequences for their quality of life as young adults. If the disease is not controlled, many will suffer from one or more of the secondary complications of diabetes : blindness, amputation, renal failure, hypertension, and heart disease by the time they reach their 20's. There is a tendency for many people to think that if it isn't type 1 diabetes, and if it isn't insulin dependent, that it is not a serious disease. "Diabetes which occur in young people and adolescents is real diabetes" and It Should Not Be Ignored." The disease does indeed pose a growing threat to minority youth. One after another, internationally recognized experts in diabetes treatment and research recounted studies of such widely-dispersed groups in Canadian Indian youth from Manitoba and Ontario, Native American youth from Arizona, African American youth from the North-eastern and Southern U.S., Hispanic youth from Texas, and schoolchildren from Japan, all linked together by their shared suseptibility to type 2 diabetes. Among the suggested criteria for type 2 diabetes is: age, ethnic background, obesity, hyperinsulemia, acanthosis nigricans ( a skin lesion ), and a family history of diabetes, including maternal diabetes during pregnancy. Okay, if you've read this far Have YOU got the Big Picture yet? What are You Waiting FOR? Find Out Today! Funding for "NIDDM in Minority Children" was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes Digestive & Kidney Disease (NIDDK), a division of the U.S. Office of Minority Health.
