Special Guest: Drisana Sandeen (Lebanese), Diabetes Prevention Health Educator, Indian Health Board of Minneapolis.

Show Topic: Announcing the 10th Annual "Native American Day Celebration" Sponsored by the Indian Health Board SDPI Diabetes Prevention Program, Allina Health, and Children's Hospital, Saturday September 27th, 2014 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at Midtown Farmers Market.

The SDPI Diabetes Prevention Program is a program based on a study done in 2000 that proved lifestyle balance changes and education prevented diabetes by up to 57% more than prescription medications used to treat pre-diabetes. It is a 16-week weight loss and lifestyle balance program for Native Americans to learn about healthy eating, exercise and how to stay healthy despite life’s challenges. The goal is to lose 5-7% of their body weight and get 150 minutes of exercise each week, which has been shown to be the minimum amount to see positive changes in blood sugar levels. Participants wanting to join must be Native American, over 18, not pregnant, not on dialysis and not diabetic. Participants in the program receive lifestyle coaching, Philips fitness center memberships, Nice Ride Memberships, and tools and incentives to promote success!
