Insight Pt 1.: Make a Choice for a Healthier Life Diabetes Prevention

Published: Nov. 22, 2023, 5:30 p.m.

b"I'm going to guess that you know someone who has type two diabetes.
I have a close family member who's currently on dialysis and another dealing with pre-diabetes. It's an epidemic - but you know what? it's doesn't have to be that way. with the right kind of lifestyle changes a person with pre-diabetes and prevent the disease from becoming full blown. Diabetes is serious stuff- not only does it increase your risk of stroke and heart attack - but it could also lead to amputation and listen men - erectile disfunction. That\\u2019s why we're enthusiastic about a program called \\u201cMake a Choice for a Healthier Life\\u201d sponsored by Health Promotion Council. I speak with Amadi Essoka-Lasenberry, a program coordinator at Health Promotion Council about the free resources they offer and I also speak with Johnita Medina, a mom who turned her health around and lost the equivalent of a whole person.
