IN A SUPPORT GROUP STYLE.

76
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,066
>> WHAT ARE SOME OF THE

77
00:02:22,866 --> 00:02:29,033
PREDIABETES SIGNS OR INDICATORS

78
00:02:25,066 --> 00:02:31,366
TO LOOK OUT FOR SINCE THERE

79
00:02:27,066 --> 00:02:33,333
AREN'T USUALLY SYMPTOMS?

80
00:02:29,033 --> 00:02:35,166
>> YES, THAT IS A GREAT POINT.

81
00:02:31,366 --> 00:02:39,266
SO THERE ARE SOME RISK FACTORS

82
00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:41,766
THAT ARE BIOLOGICAL MEANING THAT

83
00:02:35,166 --> 00:02:42,766
WE CANNOT CONTROL THEM.

84
00:02:39,266 --> 00:02:44,933
WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE INFLUENCE

85
00:02:41,766 --> 00:02:47,300
AND CONTROL OVER.

86
00:02:42,766 --> 00:02:48,800
SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE

87
00:02:44,933 --> 00:02:51,266
BIOLOGICAL ARE BEING 45 AND

88
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:52,766
OLDER, HAVING A PAST FAMILY

89
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,266
HISTORY OF DIABETES, AND

90
00:02:51,266 --> 00:02:58,700
GESTATIONAL DIABETES.

91
00:02:52,766 --> 00:03:01,066
HOWEVER THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS

92
00:02:54,266 --> 00:03:02,066
THAT WE CAN CONTROL AND SUCH AS

93
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:05,166
BEING MORE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE AND

94
00:03:01,066 --> 00:03:12,066
WEIGHT STATUS.

95
00:03:02,066 --> 00:03:15,666
SO THOSE ARE FIVE RISK FACTORS

96
00:03:05,166 --> 00:03:17,833
THAT WE KNOW TO LEAD AND BE SORT

97
00:03:12,066 --> 00:03:19,400
OF INDICATORS OF PREDIABETES.

98
00:03:15,666 --> 00:03:21,600
>> STUDIES HAVE SHOWN BLACK AND

99
00:03:17,833 --> 00:03:22,000
LATINO PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO

100
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:25,300
HAVE DIABETES THAN THE WHITE

101
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,566
POPULATION.

102
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,333
HEALTH STUDIES ESTIMATE THAT 2.5

103
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:29,733
MILLION HISPANIC LATINO

104
00:03:26,566 --> 00:03:32,533
AMERICANS AGE 20 AND OLDER HAVE

105
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:34,466
DIABETES.

106
00:03:29,733 --> 00:03:36,566
CAN YOU DISCUSS THE IMPACT THAT

107
00:03:32,533 --> 00:03:39,266
TYPE TWO DIABETES HAS ON

108
00:03:34,466 --> 00:03:40,200
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR HOW CAN

109
00:03:36,566 --> 00:03:41,500
THOSE INEQUITIES BE BETTER

110
00:03:39,266 --> 00:03:42,166
ADDRESSED?

111
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,466
>> THAT IS SUCH A GREAT

112
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:47,600
QUESTION, THANK YOU.

113
00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:50,333
PART OF THAT IS IN OUR MORE

114
00:03:46,466 --> 00:03:52,066
AFFLUENT WHITE COMMUNITIES THERE

115
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:54,466
IS GREATER ACCESS TO A NUMBER OF

116
00:03:50,333 --> 00:03:56,133
RESOURCES, AWARENESS AND

117
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:56,900
INFORMATION AROUND PREDIABETES

118

IN GENERAL.

120
00:03:56,900 --> 00:04:01,566
THERE IS GREATER AND BETTER

121
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,866
ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND BETTER

122
00:04:01,166 --> 00:04:06,600
HEALTHCARE.

123
00:04:01,566 --> 00:04:08,966
HEALTH LITERACY.

124
00:04:03,866 --> 00:04:09,633
AND ACCESS TO RESOURCES, FRESH

125
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:14,500
FOOD AND NUTRITION AND WAYS OF

126
00:04:08,966 --> 00:04:15,266
PREPARING FOOD.

127
00:04:09,633 --> 00:04:16,933
AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF POOR

128
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:18,133
DIETING.

129
00:04:15,266 --> 00:04:21,200
EMPLOYMENT SITUATION FOR MORE

130
00:04:16,933 --> 00:04:22,800
AFFLUENT COMMUNITIES MAY MEAN

131
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:26,233
THAT WE WORK FROM HOME AND

132
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:29,100
UNLESS AN AFFLUENT COMMUNITIES

133
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:31,700
THAT MAY MEAN WE WORK IN DIRECT

134
00:04:26,233 --> 00:04:32,033
SERVICE INDUSTRIES THAT PUTS US

135
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:34,833
IN CONTACT WITH NEGATIVE

136
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:36,966
FACTORS.

137
00:04:32,033 --> 00:04:40,466
I THINK THAT THOSE ARE SOME OF

138
00:04:34,833 --> 00:04:41,733
THE INFLUENCING FACTORS FOR

139
00:04:36,966 --> 00:04:42,133
NEGATIVE OUTCOMES AND DIABETES

140
00:04:40,466 --> 00:04:43,866
AND PREDIABETES IN OUR

141
00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:45,633

142
00:04:42,133 --> 00:04:47,366
