It’s National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month

National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month is observed each November. Diabetes is more common in American Indians and Alaska Natives. NDEP has resources tailored specifically to this community to help them manage diabetes or take steps to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

The NDEP’s We Have the Power to Prevent Diabetes and Taking Care of Your Diabetes Means Taking Care of Your Heart tip sheets can help American Indians and Alaska Natives learn how to lower their risk for type 2 diabetes.
