This Marketing Latinos Podcast was recorded at the “Hats Off For Hospice” event in Kyle, Texas. I had a conversation with Linda Lopez, R.N. about Latino Health issues and the conversation centered around diabetes.
We talked about what diabetes is, how to live with diabetes and we also went over some very minor tweaks that you can implement to the food that you eat to greatly reduce your diabetes risk. Things like:
- What is Diabetes?
- How to eat more vegetables with your meals
- How to deal with some food intolerance
Among other things.
I’m not a very medically savvy person, so I learned a lot from this conversation with Ms. Lopez.

About Being Latino Contributors
Diabetes, as such, is the main cause of death in the US and this comes from a variety of diseases and illnesses and conditions associated with diabetes of both types. A couple of years ago, there were about twenty-four million cases reported in the US and about six million unreported. Along with these figures, around fifty-seven million people had pre-diabetes. These are huge numbers and the sooner a person can curtail the onset, or keep the disease under control, the better their health will be.
Thank you for this blog it is bringing more awareness of diabetes disease to the general public.
