The Heart of Diabetes

"Randy Jackson, music industry veteran and TV personality, understands the importance of properly managing type 2 diabetes. For the second year, he has teamed up with the American Heart Association to encourage people with type 2 diabetes to enroll in The Heart of Diabetes campaign. Sponsored by Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc., the campaign provides educational information and tools for people with type 2 diabetes to better manage their disease. As one who has lived with type 2 diabetes for years, Jackson will travel throughout the United States (U.S.) to urge the more than 21 million adults with diabetes to work with their healthcare providers, develop a comprehensive plan to achieve their treatment goals and ultimately improve their management of type 2 diabetes. Only 7.3 percent of those who have the disease achieve blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol treatment goals"
