First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a culturally tailored program called Together Overcoming Diabetes (TOD) for American Indian families in Ojibwe communities. Adult caregivers with type 2 diabetes and their youth (ages 10-16) worked with local health coaches to set health goals. The program included 14 lessons delivered at home over 6 months, focusing on spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional wellness. Researchers tracked changes in blood sugar, weight, and other health measures for up to 2 years.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a culturally respectful way to help American Indian families better manage type 2 diabetes and prevent it in younger generations.
What could go wrong
This is a completed behavioral study with 162 participants, so results may not apply to all communities. The program is intensive (14 lessons over 6 months) and may be hard to sustain long-term.
