What People of Color Should Know About Diabetes

 

When you or your loved one were first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, did you accept the diagnosis as something that was bound to happen? 

Perhaps because you may have a family history of diabetes, you figured, “Well, I guess it must have been my turn to get it.”

Today, we're diving into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: the misconception that diabetes is predestined for some of us due to our family history or ethnicity.

After all, when you are constantly asked about your family history, and you read literature that proposes that African Americans are at a higher risk of developing the disease than other ethnic groups, it can affect your beliefs about the possibility of turning around your health.

In today's episode, we discuss five key areas for living healthy and positioning yourself to achieve better health.
