Do it yourself: Diabetes Manual

The development of this interactive, visual manual was part of an effort to delay and hopefully prevent Type 2 Diabetes in Yukon. It is targeted to front-line health workers and encourages experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and doing as an educational process. This manual is the collection of many diabetes prevention activities ready to be used in Yukon communities.
