(Best Syndication News) Diabetes was discussed on the Oprah Winfrey Show Thursday. “People are dropping like flies” and diabetes especially affects the African American Community, according to Oprah.
“I have a radical goal in the next 60 minutes to save millions of lives,” the talk show host opened her show with. As a heart surgeon, Dr Mehmet C Oz, says he sees people with diabetes all of the time. In the United States alone there are 80 million people who have diabetes or on the verge of getting it and there are another 6 million people who have it and don’t know it.
Americans spend $174 billion a year on the disease and that will double in 25 years. That is more than AIDS and all of the cancers combined. “At this rate it will bankrupt our health care system,” Oprah said.
