November 7, 2024
A message from Kathy Riyazi, MD, Population Health Data & Reporting Manager, FNHA Office of the Chief Medical Officer; and Tessie Harris, Diabetes Educator, FNHA Office of the Chief Nursing Officer
For this year’s Diabetes Awareness Month, we are sharing the wisdom and advice of two First Nations people who are living well with Type 2 diabetes, the first of whom is Elder Margaretta James from Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation, one of the Nuuchahnulth Nations on Vancouver Island.
We are grateful to her for being open and willing to share her experiences in order to help others. We trust that those of you who have diabetes will find something useful in her story that will help you as you navigate living well with diabetes!
