Diabetes threats rise among American Indians at risk communities
The article notes about 65,000 American Indians and Alaska Natives over 20 have diabetes, nearly three times whites, with rising rates and younger onset. It covers genetics, diet shifts after World War II, prevention efforts like gardens, walking groups, talking circles, and a 1990s study showing exercise and 15 pound weight loss cut Type 2 risk by 58 percent, plus funding and community programs on the Gila River reservation and Chippewa gardening projects.
