Spotlight on Diabetes

November is American Diabetes Month. In this segment of Tangi 96.5 FM's "North Oaks Health Notes," Johnny Chauvin and Dr. Corey Majors of North Oaks Endocrinology Clinic talk about the importance of understanding your personal risk for diabetes and available resources for diagnosis, treatment and support.

Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in internal medicine, Majors specializes in diagnosing and treating medical conditions affecting the endocrine system, which is a collection of glands that chemically control organ function through the secretion of hormones via the circulatory system. He earned his medical degree through Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans. He completed an Internal Medicine residency through Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Baton Rouge. A fellowship followed in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism through the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
