Loma Linda University Doctoral Student Launches

Diabetes Prevention TV Show, "Bad Sugar"

Oct. 20, 2006 - A Loma Linda University doctoral student is launching a new TV show aimed to raise awareness and prevent diabetes.

The show, called "Bad Sugar," will air beginning on Sunday, Oct. 29 at 8 a.m. on KHIZ-TV, a channel available throughout Southern California. The unique 11-part miniseries focuses on lifestyle interventions and diabetes prevention.

It is the first miniseries out of many that creator Ruth Tanyi plans to produce under the umbrella of Lifestyle & Preventive Care Weekly Television Series. Tanyi is a nurse practitioner, medical journalist, ACSM health/fitness instructor and a doctoral student in preventive care at Loma Linda University School of Public Health.

" Bad Sugar " will also air Sundays at 8:00 AM on Direct TV channel 64, broadcast on UHF Station Channel 64 and on the following cable stations:

For those with Dish Network : Channel 8019 through out the Los Angles area

For those without cable, UHF Channel 64

Why is " Bad Sugar " so unique? It uses the latest scientifically-based research about how the connection between mind, body and spirit affects all aspects of a person's life. Researchers and practitioners on the forefront of lifestyle and disease prevention call this the Mind-Body-Spirit approach. No other TV documentary has used a holistic approach like this before.

" Bad Sugar " gives people the in-depth, easy to understand information they could only get from many consultations with different health care professionals, such as doctors, nurse practitioners, medical specialists, nutritionists and personal trainers.  

Renowned experts and real patients with the disease show viewers how to prevent type 2 diabetes and complications in all types of diabetes using simple lifestyle interventions: exercise, nutrition, positive emotions, stress reduction, spiritual practices - even humor and pet therapy.

Diabetes is becoming an epidemic in the US. Currently, 20.8 million people are diagnosed with diabetes in the US (American Diabetes Association, 2006.) Watch " Bad Sugar " to learn how to prevent the disease and fight complications.
