New advances in diabetes treatment and management are helping millions live healthier and longer. Health Corner visits the world-renowned Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston to bring you the latest medical breakthroughs. Health Corner host Dr. Lisa Thornton dispels myths about taking over-the-counter medications. She discusses up-to-date recommendations with Walgreens pharmacist John Jenkins. India has one of the lowest rates of Alzheimer's disease in the world. Dr. John La Puma says it could be because of turmeric, a peppery, slightly bitter spice used frequently in Indian cuisine. He's making a ChefMD™-approved recipe featuring turmeric combined with sweet coconut milk and tender, succulent shrimp. Leeza Gibbons and Dr. Jamie Huysman explain why scrapbooking is therapeutic and fun, for both care givers and their loved ones. Plus, Denise Austin with a fit in a minute tip, home life expert Jill Repp on making sense of food labels, and style consultant Florida Perry Smith with fashion designer Kevan Hall on dressing to impress. All that, and so much more.
