Diabetes Awareness

Diabetes can now be prevented and controlled. This complex metabolic disorder affects more than eighteen million Americans, half of whom are unaware of their disease. Diabetes is a disease which is on the rise and very prevalent among the Asian American communities in Colorado. 

• The aim of this project is to provide an information network that would facilitate the sharing of Diabetes information among the Asian communities.
• This project is formulated by leaders from Asian communities and encourages the sharing of responsibility for healthcare with individuals from high-risk communities.
• In addition, the project addresses the Foundation's concern for culturally appropriate health services by ensuring that the cultural values and traditions of each individual Asian community are understood and followed.
