For many Hispanics, family is paramount. Yet heart disease and stroke, this nation's number one and number four killers, are stealing our
abuelitos and abuelitas at an unacceptable rate.
Chef Leticia Moreinos Schwartz is a chef, cookbook author, teacher, and food stylist with expertise in Hispanic and Latino cuisine. Diabetes is a topic that is very close to her heart, which is why Chef Leticia is partnering with Merck on Desafiando La Diabetes: Logra Tus Metas to challenge Hispanics with type 2 diabetes to know their A1C and to work with their doctor to set and reach their A1C goal.
