In this eye-opening episode of the Five Rivers Podcast, host Amber Smith dives into the pressing issue of diabetes in underserved communities with Danica, a diabetes advocate, marathon runner, and healthcare administrator. Together, they explore how cultural, social, and economic factors impact diabetes management and access to healthcare in underprivileged areas of the USA.
Learn how nutrition challenges in underserved communities, like limited access to grocery stores and fresh foods, contribute to the rising prevalence of Type 2 diabetes. Danica shares practical advice on navigating limited food options, understanding cultural dietary preferences, and finding balanced ways to stay healthy.
The conversation also highlights the role of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and data tracking in improving metabolic health, especially for those managing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Danica’s personal journey, from being diagnosed at 14 to thriving as an athlete and entrepreneur, serves as an inspiring roadmap for others.
