Episode 10
On today’s show, we discuss how the pandemic is forcing diabetics to ration treatment and medication. Is this trend due solely to the pandemic, or has it just made it worse?
A new study supports continued evidence of sleep duration and its affects on mortality rates on those with type 2 diabetes. Lastly, more than ever, education is playing a key role in preventing and managing diabetes, but can it be sustained and effective?
