About this listen

Welcome back to The African American Diabetes Podcast! I'm your host, Leon Rock, and in this powerful Episode 17, we're diving deep into a topic that hits incredibly close to home and is vital for the future of our community: the profound impact of diabetes on African American school-aged children.

This isn't just about numbers; it's about our children, their dreams, and their ability to thrive. We'll explore how diabetes can significantly affect their learning, social interactions, and overall well-being within the school environment. From navigating blood sugar levels during class to managing social anxieties around their condition, we'll uncover the unique challenges our young ones face.

But more importantly, this episode is about empowerment and action! We'll share crucial insights and practical strategies for supporting these incredible children in the school environment. Join us as we equip parents, educators, and community members with the knowledge and tools needed to ensure our children with diabetes receive the understanding, care, and opportunities they deserve to flourish. Let's nurture our future, together!
