The African American with Diabetes and Heart Disease

Описание: The African American Diabetic and Heart Patient// I had the opportunity to sit down & chat with NP Colleague, Devyn Nixon, MSN, ARNP, FNP-C. She works in cardiology & since it’s Black History Month as well as American Heart Month, we thought it would be great to discuss the African American diabetic & heart patient. The diabetic patient is 2-3x more at risk for stroke, MI, & sudden death compared to those without diabetes. The African American diabetic has an even higher incidence of macrovascular disease than their Caucasian counterparts. With that being stated, we must not neglect the education, early detection & intervention that can greatly benefit our patients.To learn more about Devyn & her podcast, see the links below:

Welcome to Kim E. The Diabetes NP Channel!!! My name is Kim E. and I have a love and passion for prediabetes and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. I went on a journey a while ago to build upon my knowledge of the disease and found it difficult to find concise and useful information. I realized at that moment that we, as nurse practitioners, needed a resource like this. As I began learning more about the disease and the new advances in education and management, I wanted to be apart of the solution for my fellow colleagues. If this is something that interests you, please come along with me as we grow in our knowledge of Diabetes to better serve our patients.
