S02_E10 - Diabetes. It's on the Rise, so it's Time to Get Wise.
In 2019, the CDC estimated that 8.7% of all adult Americans had diabetes, and it's been projected that by 2040, that number could rise to around 20% (1 in 5 people!). That's a staggering statistic, but where does it come from? What does it do to the body? What's the difference between Type 1 and Type 2? And why is it dubbed "sweet urine" (eew...)? We've all heard of it, but it's time we broke it down to the basics.
On Episode 10 of the podcast we'll be joined by Dr. Laura LaFave, Director of the Division of Endocrinology at Hennepin Healthcare, to discuss the origins of this condition, how it's diagnosed and treated, complications that can arise from it and what can be done to prevent it. We'll also look at how it can be controlled through insulin, effective lifestyle changes and emerging drug treatments. There are plenty of challenges one faces with this condition and this episode is loaded with important information for all of us. Join us!
