I know there is a need for this kind of resource list. I have worked with diabetes issues for several years. There seems to be quite a bit of material available at high reading levels. Fortunately, there are more and more easy-to-read materials coming out too. A wonderful place to start would be the Indian Health Service National Diabetes Program headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They have developed a lot of information on diabetes for American Indians throughout the US over a period of years. Some of their materials are just beautiful--easy-to-read, practical, encouraging, and very culturally appropriate. They've also produced many videos, teaching curricula appropriate to native peoples, and more. They can tell you which materials are available for distribution. I recommend contacting these dedicated people at 5300 Homestead Rd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110, Phone: 505-248-4182.
