In the latest episode of Health & Hip Hop, Shani Sweets sits down with Health Equity Coordinator, Donnae Ward, to discuss a condition that affects many people, Diabetes. Diabetes is when the body does not produce or use insulin effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels.

Changing your lifestyle and habits can have a huge positive impact when it comes to preventing or reversing diabetes.
“There is no cure, but it is possible to return to normal blood range numbers,” said Ward.
Ward mentions Advance Community Health’s holistic diabetes management program, DiaBeat it. DiaBeat it is led by Ward and focuses on the whole person’s approach when tackling type 2 diabetes. The program recently expanded beyond Advance Community Health patients to serve the entire community.
