Diabetes Management with Mechelle Metzgar, RN, CDE from Aultman Hospital

Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. This episode pharmacists Brad White and Paul White discuss diabetes management with Mechelle Metzgar, RN, Diabetes Educator with Aultman Hospital.

If you are one of the more than 29 million Americans with diabetes, then you probably know this chronic condition can increase your risk for developing serious complications, including heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, and kidney and nervous system diseases.  However, proper diabetes management can delay or even prevent the onset of complications, allowing you to live a healthy, productive life.  

If you or a loved one have insulin-dependent Type 1diabetes, the more common Type 2, or pregnancy-induced gestational diabetes, today’s show will discuss positive lifestyle changes that will benefit your health now and in the future.
