Bronx Diabetes Breakthrough - East
Details
Presented in partnership with Montefiore Einstein
Have you been told you’re pre-diabetic? Are you living with type 2 diabetes or worried you might be heading that way? You’re not alone, and there’s real hope.
Research shows that type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes can often be prevented, treated, and even reversed with whole food, plant-based nutrition. Even people with type 1 diabetes can achieve better control and greater quality-of-life. You can start seeing results in weeks, not years, without counting carbs.
