In 2001, complications from advanced diabetes left filmmaker Brion Whitford with only 50 percent kidney function and blood sugar levels that were spiraling out of control. The Gift of Diabetes follows Brion's struggle to regain his health by learning about The Medicine Wheel, a holistic tool grounded in an Aboriginal understanding of the interconnectedness of all dimensions of life: the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
"The film is a very powerful teaching tool and will go far in educating all in the struggle of living with diabetes."
