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.

Have you ever gone to the vet and come away having spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars? Or have you put off going \\u2013 just because you know a vet bill would break the bank? That\\u2019s where Emancipet comes in providing low-cost preventative veterinary care. I got all the details from
Jenna McElroy, Chief Development Officer with Emancipet.
