OMAHA, Neb. (RFD-TV) — With diabetes affecting millions of Americans and disproportionately impacting rural communities, this week’s Rural Health Matters on the Market Day Report turned its focus to prevention, education, and long-term management.
University of Nebraska President Dr. Jeffrey Gold joined the program to discuss the widespread prevalence of diabetes, why rural populations often face higher risks, and what steps individuals and communities can take to improve health outcomes.
In his interview, Dr. Gold explained how understanding the disease — including risk factors, early warning signs, and available treatments — can empower people to make healthier decisions and seek care sooner. He emphasized that managing diabetes is most successful when it becomes a team effort involving patients, families, and healthcare providers. He also shared guidance for rural viewers on recognizing symptoms, accessing resources, and taking proactive steps to protect their long-term health.
