Description
"Our nation has faced many challenges throughout recent history. Today we are facing a major challenge which is diabetes. It is kiling us and depriving us from the good quality of life that was provided to us by the Creator. There is nowhere I go without meeting people with diabetes. After seeing many of my firends and family affected by diabetes; I have decided to take action. I started a journey of healing to learn how to manage my diabetes and live a healthy life and fulfill the purpose the Creator has chosen for me. Throughout this journey I learned about our traditional healing, western medicine, and how to deal with issues such as residential schools and its impact on us. I also learned how it is important to manage diabetes. I want to share my journey with you."
