Thank you to Opaskwayak Health Authority for inviting NIDA on the first Friday of May, where we came together in community to recognize National Indigenous Diabetes Awareness Day (NIDAD) a day dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of diabetes among Indigenous Peoples and the importance of wellness, prevention, and reclaiming traditional foods.
Thank you to Chief Michael G. Constant for coming out to support the event.
Throughout the day, participants had access to education and supports including information on gestational diabetes, risk factors, foot care, retinopathy, blood sugar and blood pressure checks, and guidance from a dietitian.
