In this special episode, we sit down with Dr. Jackie Kassouf Maalouf, founder of DiaLeb to commemorate World Diabetes Day. DiaLeb is the National Diabetes Organization. It was founded in 2011 as a non-profit organization in Lebanon to promote diabetes care and prevention and help find a cure for this disease.  We explore the impact of diabetes on communities in Lebanon before and after the economic crisis and we discuss the importance of lifestyle modification as a preventative measure for type 2 diabetes. We also discuss the multiple projects that DiaLeb has been involved in promoting exercise and nutrition, and helping provide needed medications to people suffering from diabetes in Lebanon.  Tune in for this enlightening conversation which was recorded before the current war in Lebanon, but which provides hope for a bright future in Lebanon.  This episode is also available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/4hFBDbH0gJk and on all podcast apps.  #Diabetescare #Worlddiabetesday #diabetes #diabetesprevention #lifestyle
