Description

Type 2 diabetes is the most common type in American Indians. Although people with diabetes can prevent or delay complications by keeping blood glucose (also called blood sugar) levels close to normal, preventing or delaying the development of type 2 diabetes in the first place is even better. This publication is a guide for American Indians on how to lower their risk for Type 2 diabetes.
