NEED TO KNOW INFO ABOUT DIABETES - SERIES:
Hope for America's Hidden Epidemic Type 2 Diabetes

As we write this, exciting new treatments for Diabetes management are being introduced and traditional treatment protocols are being overturned.  New terms are also being used, such as Diabesity (obesity related diabetes) and more.  Even new guidelines and insurance coverage for diabetes are in the works. In this program Bobbie talks about what you need to know about these new ground breaking changes that are turning the management of this serious and growing illness on a dime.

Why is this news a big deal?  Remember that one in four people over 65 years old, nearly one in five African Americans and almost one out of ten of our whole population have type 2 diabetes. By 2050 there will be one in three Americans with type 2 diabetes.

This is the second in a series of episodes dedicated to the management of diabetes - what you can do to prevent it, manage it and even reverse it.. Be sure to check out our other Diabetes Episodes -  listen to Introductory Episode 1 by clicking on Halle Berry Diabetic Coma.
