Description

With more than a million Americans diagnosed with type 2 diabetes every year, it would be reasonable to think that a standard set of treatments has emerged to address the epidemic. But, as this program reports, the treatments available for people with type 2 diabetes vary according to their specific, individual needs. With the help of case studies and expert commentary, the video covers general symptoms that the disease may or may not present, how it can go undetected for years, and how it is typically, if belatedly, diagnosed. While highlighting preventive strategies, the film also illustrates the importance of effective management of type 2 diabetes and the best strategies for doing so. Guests include Dr. Daniel Einhorn of the Scripps Whittier Institute for Diabetes and Dr. Anne Peters, director of USC's Clinical Diabetes Program.
