November is Diabetes Awareness Month! Unless we make changes in how we live and eat, forty years from now as many as one in three Americans may have diabetes.

More than one in four adults age 65 and older in the United States now have diabetes. The incidence is even higher among Native Americans. According to the 2009 data from I.H.S., 14.2% of Native Americans aged 20 years old or older who received care from I.H.S., or one in seven, had diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes in children and adolescents are increasingly prevalent as well. Diabetes is a serious chronic disease. Even when symptoms are not present, high blood glucose does damage to the body. This leads to heart attacks, strokes, amputation, blindness, kidney failure, and nerve damage, and dental disease.  The good news is that with treatment, diabetes complications can be prevented or delayed by controlling blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Lifestyle changes, like healthy eating, being physically active and quitting smoking also can help lower the risk of diabetes complications.  For those at risk for diabetes, weight management, exercise and healthy nutrition may be able to prevent, or delay the onset of diabetes.

If you, or someone you love has diabetes, these are some ways to help control it.  Here are some important steps you can take to control diabetes:
  • Talk to your doctor or diabetes educator about how to manage your blood sugar level, your blood pressure, and your cholesterol levels.
  • Check your blood glucose often and keep track of your readings.
  • See your health care provider regularly if you have diabetes or if you are at risk for diabetes.
  • Remember to take medications exactly as they were prescribed for diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure.
  • Stay active. Ask your health care provider about an exercise program that is safe for you.
  • Stop or don't start smoking or using any kind of tobacco.
  • Get a flu shot.
  • Having diabetes means you are more likely to get sick and you may have more complications from flu or pneumonia than someone who doesn't have diabetes.  If you or someone in your family has type 1 or type 2 diabetes, it is very important to get a flu shot ever year. Make sure you ask for the flu shot, not the nose spray.  The CDC recommends that every person six months and older get a flu shot. Also, ask your doctor if you should get a pneumonia shot.
  • Get your own meter and lancet device to check your blood glucose. You may see your diabetes educator for a meter and equipment.  Using someone else's blood glucose equipment puts you at risk for serious infections like HIV or Hepatitis which are transmitted through blood.
  • Stay at a weight that is healthy for you.
  • Make sure you are physically active. Physical activity can help you control your weight, blood sugar, and blood pressure, as well as raise your "good" cholesterol and lower your "bad" cholesterol.
  • Activities like walking, gardening, dancing, jogging, or jumping rope at least 150 minutes a week can improve your heart health and manage stress.
  • At least two days a week, also do some resistance type of activity to make your muscles stronger.
  • Eat a well balanced diet with at least five servings of vegetables and fruit daily, avoid sugary drinks.
For more information or to meet with the Diabetes Educator contact Justina. NHW Community Health Center also has an ample supply of flu shots. Flu shots are free with Tribal ID or CIB.  All others are $20.00

For information or to make an appointment contact  Justina.

Wellbearto, Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Page from the Midwestern University's Podiatric Program visited the Navajo Nation and assisted with the Special Olympics.
 


Wellbearto went to the NATIVE HEALTH Children's Pageant. He had a great time and watched some really talented youth!     
    

 




Wellbearto marched in the Native American Connections' NARD Parade. He head a great time although his feet hurt.


Wellbearto tried his hand at planting traditional seeds at the NATIVE HEALTH Open House. Native Seed Search Donated the cool seeds!


    
    
 

Wellbearto attended the NATIVE HEALTH Open House and ate a lot of kettle corn, hot dogs, shaved ice and cotton candy!  He had a great time! 

Wellbearto watched Anisa, NATIVE HEALTH Community Garden Coordinator, be interviewed for KJZZ. Click here to listen and read the interview.  
 
  


Wellbearto went attended the NATIVE HEALTH Childbirth Class.  He learned what birthing balls were for and how they are used. He had a really interesting time. He learned a lot!  



Wellbearto chatted with Officer Charley during NATIVE HEALTH's Home Visiting Program's Group Connections.  Phoenix Police Officer Charley spoke to the families about Halloween Safety.  Wellbearto learned a lot about safe trick-or-treating.  Thank you Officer Charley!
   
 
NATIVE HEALTH Flu Shot Clinic
 


Flu vaccine has arrived! It's not too soon to think about the flu vaccine.   You may make an appointment or walk in for a shot in October. Flu shots are provided at no charge for Native Americans with Tribal ID.  All others are $20.00.
 
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) now recommends that all individuals over the age of six months receive a flu shot as soon as they are able.  
Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It spreads  from person to person and may lead to death.  NATIVE HEALTH medical providers recommend getting a shot as soon as possible.  The best way to prevent the flu is getting a flu vaccination each year.   For more information please call (602) 279-5262 or email Amanda.

November is American Diabetes Month. Diabetes is a serious concern that effects adults and more recently, has been affecting our youth. American Indian and Alaska Native youth are nine times more likely to be diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes compared to whites. Taking preventative measures to ensure your child maintains a well-balanced lifestyle starts with a basic understanding of your health. Here are a few diabetes prevention tips that together, you and your family can incorporate.
 
Physical Activity 60 minutes a day!
Opportunities for physical activity can include, sports, dancing, and helping your parents around the house.
 
Eat a well-rounded meal!
Make sure you are eating plenty of fruits and vegetables with your meals.
 
Learn from traditions!
Plant traditional vegetables at home and learn traditional games that can be played as a family.
 
If you, or someone you know, would like additional information contact Dr. Katie Carpenter at (602) 279-5262 x 3454, contact her via email  or click to view the Wellness Warriors flyer.

Your Medical Health from a Different Point of View - Integrated Behavioral Health
This month's topic: Diabetes, It's Not Just a Medical Condition
Written by Chloe Glenn, Integrated MSW Intern
(Supervised by BHC Bridgette Terrazas, LCSW)

When we think of diabetes, we see it as a chronic illness that affects many different areas of the body. But sometimes we forget that diabetes can 
also impact the way we feel, especially when we are newly diagnosed. Navigating the process of taking medication, reviewing your food choices and learning about new and confusing symptoms when your blood sugar is too low or too high can cause many to feel overwhelmed and stressed. At times, this can lead to feelings of depression or of feeing anxious. If our diabetes is not controlled, these feelings may come on stronger and last longer. Our mind and body are beautifully linked and if something is not completely healthy in one area, you may feel the impact in the other. When we have a chronic illness like diabetes, getting support from those around us is critical during this time.

One of these supports should always be your primary care doctor. You and your doctor are on a team with a mission to help your body feel and work as healthy and as strong as possible. Another member of your team is the clinic's Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC). As a BHC intern, I work hand in hand with your doctor to address how your diabetes may be impacting your mental health. There are going to be times that you feel as if extra help is needed and there will be times when you are doing well managing your diabetes. This is all normal and expected.   When you do need that extra help, we are here to help you. Talk to your doctor about how you can manage diabetes in both mind and body - You Are Worth It. If you would like to more information about working with the medical team, make an appointment with your PCP and ask to see the Behavioral Health Consultant the next time you are at NATIVE HEALTH. Anytime you feel there is a mental health crisis, you can call the Crisis Line 24/7 at (602) 222-9444.

If you would like to learn more information, pick up the phone and make an appointment with your PCP and during your medical visit, ask to see the Behavioral Health Consultant the next time you are at NATIVE HEALTH. They will come into the exam room to speak with you. Anytime you feel there is a mental health crisis, you can call the Crisis Line 24/7 at (602) 222-9444.
