Mr. Diabetes; Wake Up and Walk Tour 2004

If Andy Mandell has anything to say about it, Americans will "Wake Up" to the need for prevention of diabetes and he's willing to take that message 10,000 miles -- by foot -- to make it happen!

Take your kids off the diabetes hit list!

In this 3-segment visit with Andy he'll tell you how!

This week:

A more compelling speaker to one of today's tragedies amongst healthcare failures I can't imagine. As he continues with his 10,000 mile, "Wake Up and Walk" tour through American cities large and small, Andy Mandell represents our ability to turn this "train to disaster" around if we put our efforts, hearts and dollars in the right place.

Today there are an estimated twenty-two million people who suffer with diabetes, and by 2025, that number is expected to grow to over sixty million! If you can wrap your mind around the fact that 75% of all Type II diabetes can be easily prevented, then you begin to understand the urgency of this healtcare crisis.

How might you score on Andy's screening test? Listen and find out!
