The
Diabetes Association, Inc.
(DAI)
took advantage of the
American Heart Association's month-long focus on women and heart
disease to sponsor a special program on The Heart of Diabetes for
members of its Latino support group.
Diabetes is often associated
with cardiovascular risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high
blood cholesterol disorders, obesity and insulin resistance.
The rate of
diabetes is higher among people of Hispanic descent. DAI Hispanic Diabetes Outreach
