According to a first-ever study released this month (March) by the 
UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the California Center for 
Public Health Advocacy, 38% of California Native Americans aged 18-39 
and 51 percent of all adult Natives have prediabetes, a precursor to 
Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be avoided with a healthy diet 
and increased physical activity.
