Abstract

The immense disparity in the rates of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) related complications among the American Indian (AI) population, has been connected to the unsuccessful management of T2D. Need for family involvement and multigenerational participation are major factors in effective control and prevention of T2D in AI adults and youth.
