Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Question if you live with diabetes OR live near a Reservation

I live near a reservation, and my mother grew up on that reservation. I will have to google, but I do believe that it really is a thing that diabetes occurs more frequently in Native American populations - I think I have read that before.

Yes, it does occur at higher rates in the NA populations, but in this article, it is non-insulin dependent diabetes that is occurring at a higher rate. Also according to this article, the number of cases of type 2 diabetes occurring went up during the mid 20th century. If I recall correctly, that was around the time that commodities for people on the reservations were started. Commodities consisted of white flour, sugar, and oil, among other things. I will go look that up in a few, as well.

Here is a scholarly article on the connection between commodities and type 2 diabetes.
