The very famous television celebrity, Oprah Winfrey has decided to dedicate her show for the day to type-2 diabetes as an attempt to respond to this diabetes epidemic that is seriously considered to be a health crisis by most experts. This is reportedly considered to be a wonderful chance for all the citizens of America to know whether a person is at risk of being affected by the disease by taking a free test.

The celebrity announced that this disease could very well be compared to a time bomb that is ticking every second and the only difference between the two is that it is a silent killer. She also expressed her concern for all Americans, especially African Americans who had a higher chance of more than 80 per cent to actually be diagnosed with the disease than the others.

The dedicated episode is also said to feature the very famous physician Dr. Mehmet Oz and also Bob Greene who is an exercise physiologist and the best part of the show is that the audience comprised of people diagnosed with the disease to share their problems with Winfrey and to receive expert advice on diabetes.
