The Diabetes Story
'Living a healthy & long life with well-controlled Diabetes'
The Diabetes Story Background
The Diabetes Story is a health information resource
available for use by all practitioners, clinics and Aboriginal clients
in Central Australia. The movie is written and animated as a story in
three Central Australian Aboriginal languages (Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri
and Arrernte) and English and may be particularly useful for those clients
with low medical literacy levels and comprehension of written material.
| The Diabetes Story contains five scenes or
chapters: 1. How do you feel? 2. What is Diabetes? 3. Why have I got Diabetes? - Type 2 Diabetes - Gestational Diabetes - Type 1 Diabetes 4. What could happen to me? 5. If you have Diabetes or think you might have Diabetes... |

The Diabetes Story was developed by Central Australian
Aboriginal Congress in conjunction with Healthy Living NT, the Central
Australian Division of Primary Health Care and the Federal Department
of Communication, Information Technology and the Arts.
Congress thanks Diabetes Australia Northern Territory (now Healthy Living
NT) as a significant part of the content is drawn from the 5-part diabetes
awareness booklets ‘Keep Culture, Life and Family Strong: Know early
about Diabetes.’ We recommend this movie as a beginners guide to
the booklets and as a complementary resource.

or via email at info@healthylivingnt.org.au
The Diabetes Story was developed drawing on concepts from the Central
Australian Division of Primary Health Care ‘Immunisation-for-all’
multimedia resource. The layout and several of the characters are the
same providing a familiar software environment for users and we thank
the Division for this significant contribution.

Central Australian Aboriginal Congress thanks and acknowledges the financial
support of the Department of Communication, Information Technology and
the Arts through the TAPRIC Indigenous Communities Online Program (ICOP).
