Copy to: michele.stacona@wstribes.org lynn.davis@wstribes.org Tell us about your work in the Diabetes Management pro- gram. What do you think is most important for patients to do for their own health? Be mindful that your body is the only one you have, and that there is only one you, so take care of yourself to last a life time. What is your role or job with the program, and what is your favorite part of your job? I am the administrative assistant. There are many reasons why I like my job, but I really like learn- ing new tasks and being given more responsibilities. I enjoy helping where I can and having the ability to do my job with support when needed. Why do you think manage- ment of diabetes is important? To ensure you are feeling the best that you can, and to prevent further complications that could occur from diabetes.
