The Dynamics of Diabetes with Endocrine Specialist Chris Yedinak

Health on the Map

Research shows that more than 50% of American adults have diabetes or pre-diabetes and that residents of rural communities are more likely to die from it than those in urban or suburban areas. Join us as Health on the Map host Marc Long talks with nurse practitioner and endocrine specialist Chris Yedinak on the dynamics of diabetes in rural communities, from what it is and why it's growing to food deserts and lifestyle management. The views expressed by guests may not necessarily be the views of Mount Marty University.
