Carole could be referred to financial resource organizations like Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to help her with some financial concerns. WIC helps moms and children under five with nutritional education, health referrals, and breastfeeding support and provides extra nourishment. Type 2 diabetes is a severe global public health issue that disproportionately affects the poor, especially Native Americans and Alaskans. In 2009, people eligible for the Indian Health Service (IHS) had a 16.1% age-adjusted diabetes prevalence, more than double that of non-Hispanic white individuals (Jiang et al., 2013). Large-scale public health interventions in Native American communities, such as the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), have proven that lifestyle modifications can prevent or delay the onset of diabetes for people at risk (Jiang et al., 2013). Healthy lifestyle change in the Native American community highly relies on trust and community collaboration. This will ultimately promote a positive outcome. Patient Info 44-year-old Native American and European female ten weeks post-partum diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 30 weeks pregnant with persistent hyperglycemia.
