Welcome to the Nuchu Diabetes Program.

Get ready to explore a website that's all about WELL BEING!

The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is highly focused on addressing the root causes of high rates of diabetes. This requires understanding how cultural, historical, and economic factors all play a role. By doing this, we can develop long-lasting solutions that align with our community's needs and prioritize our health and well-being.

Our Mission

    Education

    The impact of diabetes on the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is a complex and multifaceted issue that deserves our attention and action.

    Motivation

    Traditional knowledge and practices related to healthy living and physical activity have been eroded over time, making it difficult to address the disease in a culturally appropriate and effective manner.

  • Placeholder

    Support

    Efforts to reconnect the community with our cultural heritage and revitalizing traditional practices can play a crucial role in diabetes prevention and management.

Higher Rates Than Average

Indigenous peoples have a greater chance of developing diabetes than any other US racial group.

HAPPINESS

WELLNESS

HARMONY

Good health, happiness, and harmony are all interconnected in a beautiful symphony that resonates through every aspect of our lives. When we prioritize our well-being, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally, we create a solid foundation for true happiness to thrive. Aligning our thoughts, actions, and relationships with positivity and nourishment can lead to a harmonious existence. It is essential to remember that achieving good health goes beyond the absence of illness; it encompasses holistic well-being in mind, body, and spirit. By fostering harmony within ourselves and fostering positive connections with others, we can cultivate a life filled with joy, contentment, and a deep sense of fulfillment.

We believe through education, motivation, and support people can learn to make positive lifestyle changes and prevent type 2 diabetes from developing.
