Welcome to "DIABETES - Let's Not Sugarcoat It" - the show that is all about Diabetes; how to prevent yourself from getting it; and what to do if it finds its way to you.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 34 million Americans have diabetes, 90 – 95% of whom have Type 2 Diabetes, and 88 million American adults – about 1 in 3 – have prediabetes. Chris and Matt recognize diabetes for what it is, a preventable epidemic. This frank discussion is intended to inform the general public of the deadly side effects of diabetes and steps to control and mitigate the effects.
