Today In The Upper Cumberland: Fighting Diabetes

Talking diabetes in the Upper Cumberland with Dr. Dawn Grasham & Lisa Bumbalough

It is the nation’s seventh biggest killer. It is diabetes. 15% of Tennesseans deal with diabetes – that number was just 5% as late as 1996. Why the rise? What can be done to lower the number? How can you protect yourself? We explore diabetes in the Upper Cumberland with Dr. Dawn Grasham – the Upper Cumberland’s Regional Medical Director for the state of Tennessee – and Lisa Bumbalough – Putnam County’s Health Director.

Today In The Upper Cumberland airs each weekend as a way to introduce you to interesting people and subjects of interest to our community. Catch the show each Saturday morning at 6 on Rock 93-7, 106-9 Kicks Country, and at 8 on Lite Rock 95.9.

If you miss it Saturday, you can catch Today In The Upper Cumberland again, Sunday. The show airs Sunday morning at 7am on Rock 93-7 and News Talk 94.1/AM 1600, Sundays at Noon on News Talk 94.1/AM 1600, and Sunday night at 6pm on Lite Rock 95.9 and at 7pm on 106-9 Kicks Country.
