Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI)

Empowering Our Community to Prevent and Manage Diabetes

Native communities are heavily impacted by chronic diseases like diabetes. This has led many to believe that the condition is inevitable—but this is not true. Medical research proves that healthy eating and moderate exercise can prevent diabetes. By embracing a nutrient-rich diet and an active lifestyle, we can replenish the health of our community together.

The Trenton Indian Service Area SDPI implements evidence-based interventions to treat and prevent diabetes. Our mission is to significantly reduce the burden of diabetes and its complications for our families.
