Spilyay Tym oo, W arm Springs, O regon D iabetes P revenion Change took time, now a healthy lifestyle Support team By Mon tel Elliott Warm Springs Diabetes Prevention Program Let me introduce a par ticipant o f the Diabetes Pre vention Program to you! Can you guess who it is? She has: • Success in substantial weight loss; • Made extreme healthy eating habit changes • A significant other who is a ‘health freak’; • Had challenges in chang ing, her lifestyle and a life o f bad eating habits: • Does catering business now that offers treats includ ing healthy choices. T h e answ er is V esta Johnson, who has been a par ticipant in the program since June o f 2012. W hat does it mean that she is a participant? The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) empowers people (participants) to pre vent diabetes. To be a part o f the program the person Vesta Johnson must be diagnosed with Pre- D iabetes, which means the person is at higher risk o f getting diabetes. The person’s blood sugar levels are higher th an norm al, b u t n o high enough for a diagnosis o f dia betes. I f in te re ste d in b ein g tested or more inform ation on how the D P P can help you, call Joy Ramirez at 553- 0118 or Stefanie Hurtado at 553-1079.

In July o f 2012, the Tony Robbins Conference changed her life and taught overcom ing fear and being healthy is a reachable goal. Winona shared life stories and information on being a participant, and Montell ex plained her personal, experi ences with becom ing m ore physically active (as vesta states “ becam e a h ealth freak”). In the program she says she learned a foundational education. The cooking class and, sh arin g o f fo o d s to m ake h e a lth ie r ch o ices, helped her reach her goals. Vesta says the class was h e lp fu l in lea rn in g m o re about the reading o f labels and understanding fat grams. Practicing being mindful when eating has also been an im p o rtan t p art o f learning for her.. Vesta states that the Dia betes and the Diabetes Pre v en tio n P rogram sta ff are , here to change people’s lives. • T hey can m otivate you to care for yourself. So, w ere th e h ealth y changes hard to do? Vesta said that it took some time. But now, with eating fruits and veggies and less fried foods while drinking lots o f water, it has become part o f taking care o f herself. The Diabetes Prevention Program is actually designed to m ake sm all, d o -ab le changes for each individual to ; lead an d c o n tin u e a healthy lifestyle. In closing, Vesta’s message for the community regarding p re v e n tio n o f d iab etés: “W hen you love y o u rself enough to change eating hab its and exercise, life becomes beautiful and the D PP is here to support you.” Seeking research interviewers NORC, a social science research center is seeking reliable, outgoing, persua sive people to conduct in- person interviews within the homes o f residents of the C onfederated Tribes o f Warm Springs.
