Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Barbara Mora's (Paiute/Diné) mother, who passed away from diabetes complications, struggled to confront the reality of the disease. "My mother would not deal with diabetes; it was a big scary topic," Mora says. "She only saw the horrible things: amputations, dialysis and death." When Mora was diagnosed with diabetes 14 years ago, she chose to deal with the disease differently. As the fourth generation on her mother's side to suffer from diabetes, many of Mora's family members did not want her to talk about it. "I thought no, I'm not going to go quietly," Mora says. "I'm going to find out everything I need to know about diabetes." After her mother's death, and her father's subsequent passing, Mora felt herself slipping into depression. Rather than falling victim to diabetes and depression, Mora relied on the Diné tradition of praying each morning to restore her spirit. Then she channeled her emotional and spiritual journey with diabetes from denial to depression to staying active and healthy with the disease in the book Using Our Wit and Wisdom to Live Well with Diabetes." from ://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2011/05/14/native-life-provides-online-health-support-network-34013.
