Chronic Lung Disease & Diabetes

Shannon Vickery, Host

Join host Shannon Vickery and her guests in this show focusing on chronic lung disease and diabetes. For the first half hour, six guests will discuss chronic lung disease. What are the major lung diseases? What causes them? And who is at risk? Panelists also explain the meaning of the different statistics on lung diseases. Part of this segment will be devoted to the discussion of asthma and emphysema, both of which are the leading lung diseases in the South.

Panelists will also discuss prevention and treatment of lung disease: how or if lung disease can be prevented and what kind of treatment is available.

Diabetes takes the second half of the show with some startling statistics on how many cases are undiagnosed. In addition to discussing who is at risk, these guests explain the causes and symptoms of diabetes and what to do for suspected diabetes.

Can the two types of diabetes be prevented? Panelists will discuss how to minimize the risk, treatment options and current research.
