Why is diabetes on the rise in United States? On the next Your Call, we will have a conversation about diabetes, one of the fastest growing diseases in this country. The number of Type 2 diabetics has doubled in the past two decades, to an estimated 20 million, with 1 million new cases diagnosed each year. Is diabetes a public health crisis or an individual medical problem? How should the state respond to the dramatic increase in diabetes cases? It's Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.
Guests:
