The importance of heart health for type 2 diabetics

Anthony from Atlanta discusses the importance of participating in Care Access’s no-cost heart and kidney health screenings, especially as an African American living with type 2 diabetes. He highlights the need for his community to understand vital health indicators, such as Lp(a) levels, which could have a significant impact on well-being.

“I want this to benefit me and others,” Anthony shares, emphasizing that contributing to research extends beyond personal gain—it’s about improving community health for everyone. “A better quality of life is far more precious than any incentive,” he says, urging others to take action now.
