Arabic and Cambodian Nutrition Ed Mat'ls for Diabetes

[Joanne Ikeda]

It is highly unlikely that you are going to find materials in arabic in the
US. My suggestion is that you attempt to contact a nutritionist/dietitian
working in Saudi Arabia or other arabic country through the embassy for that
country.  Good luck...joanne ikeda
