We’re talking about RADICAL IDEAS about DIABETES on Divabetic’s Diabetes Late Nite with music from Nina Simone.
“It’s an artist’s duty to reflect the time in which we live,” said Nina Simone.

It’s interesting to note that what might have seemed ‘Radical’ twenty or thirty years ago is most likely considered ‘commonplace’ today. Take for example, society’s changing attitudes about what it means to be ‘healthy’. From tennis superstar Serena Williams to Bill Clinton, it seems like everyone’s either ‘vegan’ or gluten-free’ today while only a few years back no one was using these terms! We’re quickly moving out stairmasters to make room for yoga mats. The only thing wrong with being ‘radical’ about your health is that most of us don’t do enough of it. We jump on the latest lifestyle trend, fad diet or fitness craze without investing the time, energy and effort into finding out if it’s the right solution for us with our healthcare providers.

Guests include Lorraine Brooks, Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE, Stephanie Gaber, PharmD, CDE, Dr. Beverly Adler, PhD, CDE, Mama Rose Marie Szadek and Best-Selling Author Lauren Hawkeye.

Country’s brightest star, Maren Morris inspires GIRL TALK about the challenges of living with diabetes on Divabetic’s Diabetes Late Nite podcast scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, 2020, 6 PM, EST.
Do you know that being a woman with type 2 diabetes poses distinctive challenges along the path to tight diabetes management?
“Many of the challenges due to diabetes women face are related to their hormones — namely, estrogen and progesterone”, says Gregory Dodell, MD.
Additionally, when it comes to getting treatment for type 2 diabetes, women may have much more of an uphill battle compared with men. A review of 21 scientific studies from around the world, published in the Indian Journal of Public Health, observed that women deal with many more types of care-related obstacles. These include personal, economic, psychological, and health system–based barriers.
“Among those with diabetes, women were less likely than men to receive the care recommended by guidelines, and women received less-intense therapy and monitoring,” said Neethu Suresh, PhD.
Women also tend to give less of a priority to their own health, and they often lacked family and social support to get medical attention compared to men.
Our Diva Inspiration, Maren Morris has opted to do things her own way, shirking convention and obliterating expectation at every turn.
Her new album, Girl offers a masterclass in country rock (“All My Favorite People,” which features Brothers Osborne), super-sized pop (“Girl”), and pulsating soul (“Make Out With Me”). “The Feels” is anchored by a reggae groove, while “Flavor” and “RSVP” embrace heady ’90s-era R&B.
“Getting married made me want to better myself and figure out why I do the things I do,” Maren Morris says of the decision to look beyond her songbook for relief. “And, for my own mental health, as I go deeper and deeper into this world of music, I need another outlet besides writing songs to get out what I’m feeling.”
Throughout this podcast we will be featuring music from Maren Morris’s Girl album courtesy of SONY Music.
Diabetes Advocate, Andre “Doctor Dre” Brown,who came to prominence as co-host of Yo! MTV Raps, opens up about his experience living with type 2 diabetes on Divabetic’s upcoming Annual Luther Vandross Tribute podcast on Tuesday, March 10, 2020, 6:30 -8 PM, EST.
Doctor Dré (aka André Brown) has publicly battled type 2 diabetes and has been outspoken to his fans about his condition.
“I’m a type 2 diabetic who lost his vision.”
Diabetic eye disease, caused by diabetes, is a leading cause of blindness and vision loss. Because of the high risk for eye disease, all people with type 2 diabetes should receive an annual dilated eye exam.
A 2019 Vision Source study of 1,000 U.S. consumers found that more than 50% had issues with their vision in the past year, and 34% did not go for a professional eye exam. The major barriers to having an annual eye exam included not thinking they needed one (33%), unsure of where to go (25%), lack of insurance, (22%) and expense (22%).
Comprehensive eye exams are key to overall wellness and preserving a high quality of life. In addition to evaluating vision, annual eye exams can detect serious health issues, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, and even cancer.
Regardless of his diabetes health-related challenges, his attitude remains upbeat and inspiring.
“I’ve been going through a whole different resurgence in my life,” Dre said. “I stopped at one point, and now I’m doing this. Through the blessings of the late great Dick Gregory, I’ve worked through holistic doctors to change what goes in my body.”
Brown clarified that he’s not completely blind, and has undergone retina reattachment surgery. The resulting scar tissue causes his vision to fluctuate. As a result, he’s currently more focused on higher factors.

African American women are disproportionately affected by heart disease. Together, we can do something to change that.
Know Diabetes By Heart Ambassador, Hyvelle Ferguson Davis shares her experience of living with type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease on February’s Diabetes Late Nite with music from Camila Cabello.
Growing up, diabetes was a silent, omnipresent resident in Hyvelle’s family’s home. Her mother had the disease but never acknowledged it.
“Black folks have illnesses nobody talks about but deal with,” said Ferguson Davis, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “Our mom would just say, ‘I’m tired.’ I watched her deteriorate over the years, but she didn’t make it known or relevant.”
She kept thinking diabetes was an old person’s disease. Then, in 2014, she had a stroke. Every two minutes, an adult with diabetes in the U.S. is hospitalized for a stroke.
“I was reading stuff backwards at work, talking weird,” Ferguson Davis said. “I came home and went to sleep. I woke up when my daughter Brittney, who was a teenager, came home from school. She said, ‘Mom, you don’t sound right.’
“She called my sister, who immediately called 911.”
We’re talking about ‘ROMANCE & DIABETES’ on Diabetes Late Nite with musical inspiration from Camila Cabello.
After releasing three studio albums from 2015 to 2017 as part of Fifth Harmony, Camila Cabello made her solo album debut in 2018, then this second album, Romance released in 2019 — and even she can feel the difference in the song-making process.
“I feel like this time around, I really got to bond with the people that I was collaborating with because I wasn’t trying to impress anyone anymore.”
Having diabetes affects much more than a person’s diet. It can impact every aspect of their life, including their sexual health.
When a person has diabetes, their body cannot use insulin properly, and this can lead to high blood sugar levels. Over time, these can lead to complications such as nerve damage and cardiovascular problems. Both have implications for sexual health in men and women.
