Albany, NY – Alan Chartock welcomes back Dr.Gregg Gerety for another interesting discussion about diabetes.

There are 16 million people in this country with diabetes. It's the sixth leading cause of death by disease with heart disease being the number one cause of death in this country. Gerety maintains that many of the people dying from heart disease don't have diabetes listed as the primary cause, even though as Gerety stated, "clearly the diabetes creates an adverse or sinister metabolic milieu which leads to the heart disease."
