Co-opting Culture: How Sugar Kills in Mexico Without Warning

When Social Worker Karen Rosenberg and a business partner hosted yoga retreats in Isla Mujeres, Mexico they befriended a young man in his mid 30's who died unexpectedly from undiagnosed diabetes. She decided to take action when another local woman ended up in a diabetic coma and founded the Isla Diabetes Clinic.  Karen and co-director Giovanni have hosted free clinics that drew 500 people to get tested, receive nutritional counseling and supplies. Mexico has a diabetes epidemic, estimates are that about 60 percent of the population has undiagnosed diabetes. She shares how her amazing clinic has grown and had a positive impact over the past 13 years. We encourage you to support this worthwhile organization if you are able to do so.   https://isladiabetesclinic.com  https://www.facebook.com/isladiabetesclinicDid you get your Free Copy of Dawn's book yet?Connect with me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midlifeinparadise/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dawndfleming/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnfleming/Website: https://www.lifeinparadisepodcast.comSupport the show
