Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) aboriginal health diabetes outreach workers can help aboriginals with diabetes understand their disease better.
The diabetes health team can direct you to health services for diabetes treatment, or come to your home to help you learn about:
healthy eating;
active living;
testing blood sugars;
understanding medications; and
care of your heart, eyes, feet and kidneys.
