You know how there never seems to be quite enough time to get all of your questions answered during your doctor visits? Well, HealthCentral's "Just One More Question!" video series is here to help! We're asking the top docs in their field to answer all your Qs so you can get a real handle on your condition.

For this edition on diabetes, we’ve zoomed in real tight on how this disease uniquely impacts the Hispanic/Latinx community. We asked Lorena Alarcon-Casas Wright, M.D., clinical associate professor and director of the LatinX Diabetes Clinic at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, to explain what diabetes is and how treatment—getting yourself moving and making simple food swaps—can help you live your best life with this disease. Here's what she told us.
