Join us for an open, honest discussion about the unique challenges, triumphs, and crucial conversations surrounding Diabetes and organ donation within the African American community. This week's podcast explores how diabetes disproportionately impacts African Americans, the realities of kidney and other organ failure, and the life-saving potential of becoming an organ donor. Join me with my special guest, Latrice Price, Community Outreach Supervisor with Infinite Legacy as she shares empowering stories, expert insights, and practical advice to foster better health outcomes and inspire a legacy of generosity. Learn how to advocate for your health, navigate the donation system, and save lives. Here on the African American Diabetes Podcast.

Stop scrolling. This is the most crucial 20 minutes you'll spend on your health this week. Host Leon Rock is firing up the "real talk" about a silent diagnosis that's stalking our community: prediabetes. It's not just a warning; it's a WAKE-UP CALL. For too long, the narrative around diabetes has been about managing the crisis. Today, we're flipping the script to focus on PREVENTION.

Prediabetes is the yellow light right before it slams into red, and for African Americans, that transition is faster and more dangerous. We break down what this "new" diagnosis actually is, why it disproportionately targets us, and—most importantly—the concrete, culturally relevant steps you can take right now to reclaim your health and dodge a Type 2 diagnosis. Don't wait for the red light. Tune in, get the knowledge, and let's turn this thing around!

Join host Leon Rock on Episode 21 of "The African American Diabetes Podcast" for a powerful and timely discussion. In this episode, titled "A Call to Action: Confronting Diabetes Disparities in the Black Community," we explore a critical issue affecting our community: the impact of recent federal budget cuts on healthcare access for African Americans with diabetes. Leon breaks down what these cuts mean for you and your loved ones, and, more importantly, empowers listeners with concrete steps and resources to advocate for change.

This is more than just a conversation; it's a call to action to take control of our health and demand health equity.
