Dr. Ralph DeFronzo, chief of the division of diabetes and endocrinologist with UT Health Physicians at UT Health San Antonio, was interviewed for a live segment on News 4 San Antonio to raise awareness about the seriousness of diabetes ahead of Diabetes Alert Day on Tuesday, March 23.
Dr. DeFronzo discussed symptoms and risk factors of diabetes, why Hispanics/Latino adults are expected more than groups to develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime and how patients living with diabetes are more likely to get COVID-19 and develop severe complications from it.
