Today we're joined by Dr. Mittal, a family medicine physician in Southern California. I talked with Dr. Mittal about diabetes - and being a family medicine doc it is a condition he knows all too well. A diabetes diagnosis is never happy news, and Dr. Mittal runs us through how exactly he explains diabetes to his patients, to not only ensure they understand it but also to ensure that they will follow through with a treatment plan. He talks about how nuanced this process can be - and how important it is to be aware of a person's background and culture when making a treatment plan for them. I think diabetes is a truly fascinating disease, and I hope you enjoy.
