<strong>SOADI</strong> FRONTLINE TRAINING 36 Children, Youth, and Gestational Diabetes Objectives By the end of this training session, participants will: • Apply knowledge of what diabetes is, and how it is affecting our seven generations. • Understand what we can do about the affects of diabetes on our seven generations. Healthy Lifestyle It’s much easier to grow up physically active and eating good healthy foods as a way of life than it is to change later. However, change is possible with support and a positive attitude. • Choose a balanced meal plan. • Eat more, fibre, fruits, vegetables, and fish. • Eat in moderation. • Drink plenty of water. • Be physically active, get involved in sports, and recreational activities. • Get your family involved, go for walks after dinner, or play catch. • Go outside with your friends, play hockey, or go skating. • Walk off anger, frustration and depression. Gestational Diabetes Gestational Diabetes affects up to 3% of the general population and up to 18% of Aboriginal women. Finding out you have gestational diabetes can be very stressful. Fortunately, there are many well-informed health professionals to help answer your questions and guide you through this very important time in your life. Between 24 and 28 weeks into your pregnancy, your midwife or doctor will send you to be screened for gestational diabetes.
<strong>SOADI</strong> FRONTLINE TRAINING 37 Gestational diabetes is generally managed by diet and exercise and goes away after the baby is born. Some women require insulin to control this type of diabetes. Good nutrition is the cornerstone to a healthy pregnancy. Weight gain should be slow and gradual. Smaller, more frequent, healthy meals and snacks will help. Walking after meals will also help keep blood sugars under better control. Active for Life Some ways for young people to include daily activity in their life, which can include the whole family and their friends are: • Walking. • Dancing. • Rollerblading. • Bicycling. • Running. • Berry picking. • Swimming. • Skating. • Tennis. • Skiing. • Lacrosse. • Canoeing. • Spending time outdoors during all the seasons. • Most importantly, have fun and enjoy whatever activity you do! Youth at Risk Some risk factors are: • Having a family member with diabetes puts youth and children at a higher risk. • Children born to a mother with gestational diabetes are at greater risk. The number of Aboriginal children and youth developing type 2 diabetes in our communities is rising. The good news is that it’s preventable! Ways children and our youth can prevent type 2 diabetes: • Increase physical activity.
