Desafiando La Diabetes, un programa educativo que exhorta a la población hispana con Diabetes tipo 2
Merck, international leader in health care, joined the famous chef and cookbook author, Leticia Moreinos Schwartz, to launch Desafiando La Diabetes: Logra Tus Metas (Defying Diabetes: Achieve Your Goals), an educational program that encourages Hispanics with type 2 diabetes better control their blood sugar.This disease is the fifth cause of death within the Hispanic community in the USA. Therefore, the chef Leticia will visit a number of cities where she will cook some of their Latino recipes for diabetics and will urge Hispanics to know their A1C (average blood sugar level) to work with their doctors and set new health goals.”After many years of living with type 2 diabetes, my grandfather died of a stroke, one of the serious complications of diabetes, I know how important it is for a diabetic person to know their A1C and commit to a goal of A1C” Leticia said. “I am proud to work with Merck in this program to help encourage Hispanics to learn to control their blood sugar and inspire them to eat healthier.”Meanwhile, Tiffani Nair, director of communications and mission of the American Diabetes Association, said: “We are excited to work with Merck and Univision to present Desafiando La Diabetes within the Latino Health Fair this year. The ADA has committed to raise awareness about diabetes.”For more information about this program, visit {Desafiando La Diabetes;http://desafiandoladiabetes.com/}.
