A little bit about The Aboriginal Diabetes Study
What is the aim of the study? How will it help participants, Aboriginal families and future generations?
Type 2 diabetes is a big problem in Aboriginal communities. It affects people of all ages, and many people develop complications from diabetes (such as kidney failure, eye problems, circulation problems with the feet and legs, and heart attack and stroke). Diabetes is often difficult to manage, but with a better understanding of what causes diabetes, and what causes the complications of diabetes we will find better ways of preventing and managing this disease.
The benefits of the Aboriginal Diabetes Study for Aboriginal communities may include fewer complications from diabetes in the future. People who participate in the study will have the benefit of understanding their current diabetes (or non-diabetes) status and receive information about diabetes prevention and management. Through their involvement with the study, local health workers may also have a better understanding of how to educate people to prevent diabetes and provide support for people with diabetes to live healthier lives. Who can be involved in the study?
