With diabetes continuing to disproportionately affect the poor and people of color, the Bronx nonprofit agency Health People is launching a new campaign against the disease. Chris Norwood, the group’s founder and executive director, joined NY1’s Errol Louis to discuss their new education effort about diabetes as well as what she hopes to get out of the upcoming state budget. They also talked about some concerns over weight-loss drugs like Ozempic that are being used in the diabetes battle.
