FREE ON-LINE PROGRAM FOR
NATIVE AMERICANS LIVING WITH DIABETES
indiandiabetes.stanford.edu
The Stanford University Patient Education Research Center has a new
on-line workshop and study for people living with type 2 diabetes.
Due to the high rates of Diabetes among Native Americans, Stanford is
offering workshops for Native Americans. This will allow
participants to receive free diabetes self-management materials,
receive free lab tests, done entirely over the Internet. Stanford
University has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and
the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to examine an Internet based
diabetes self-management program. There is no cost associated with
participating in the study.
I have included information about this program below. Please let me
know if you have any questions, and please feel free to pass the
information along to anyone you think could benefit from the program.
We can also provide an article in a newsletter, or a banner graphic
to accompany a web link. I�ve put the banner here for your viewing:
Thanks so much for your help.
