• Introducing pediatrician Dr. Lester Freeman M.D
• What is diabetes and why it is on the rise?
• The difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
• The symptoms and long-term effects of diabetes within children and adolescents
• Discuss how to manage this chronic disease

Dr Freeman was born and raised for part of his childhood in Harlem, New York City, but relocated to Laurelton, Queens where he spent the rest of his formative years. Ever since he was five years old, he wanted to become not only a physician, but a pediatrician.

He has always sympathized with the most vulnerable amongst us, that is, the children. Dr. Freeman’s goal is to make sure they get the best pediatric care possible. It’s a lifelong responsibility that he fully enjoys, yet takes very seriously.

Dr. Freeman’s motivation stems from his fundamental love for both children and pediatric medicine. His daily goals include educating his patients and their families about pediatric health, and inspiring as many children and adolescents as he possibly can to become interested in pursuing a career in medicine.”
