Are you wondering why Black and Brown women are disproportionately affected by diabetes? In today’s episode of the Diabetes Digital Podcast, we dive deep into the systemic factors contributing to this health disparity. From access to quality healthcare and nutritious food to the pervasive impacts of medical bias and diet culture, we unpack the challenges these communities face and how they influence diabetes risk.

You'll learn practical steps for advocating for yourself in healthcare settings, choosing healthier foods on a budget, and building sustainable habits that go beyond restrictive diets. We also explore how stress, sleep, and relationships play a crucial role in managing diabetes and overall health.
