I am at the end of a short (originally unplanned) stop in Majuro. For the last few days I have been working with a group of people that run the Canvasback Kumit Wellness Center. Diabetes is very prevalent in the Marshall Islands, over 50% of adults have Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes. The team here has developed and implemented a diabetes reversal and lifestyle change program for the Marshall Islands. They have intervention and education programs, exercise programs, a cafe that serves healthy breakfasts and lunches, and they even grow many vegetables they use in the meals they serve. It has been great to see what they have accomplished with a small team of people. I just wish I had more time here!
