New York City releases a new diabetes reduction plan
Manage episode 484100617 series 95357
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of illness and death nationally. And New York City isn’t any different. But it doesn’t equally impact all populations equally.
The City Health Department says New Yorkers of color are twice as likely to have the disease as white New Yorkers. And city residents who live in high poverty neighborhoods are twice as likely to have diabetes as their wealthier counterparts. A new Diabetes prevention plan released by the health department this month seeks to address those inequalities.
Acting City Health Commissioner Dr. Michelle Morse talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about the plan.
