New research shows correlation between diabetes, race, and food insecurity
06/15/22 • 24 min
Last week The American Diabetes Association hosted their eighty second Scientific Sessions in New Orleans. At the event, researchers, doctors, and ADA leaders presented groundbreaking diabetes research, notably how diabetes correlates to food insecurity as well as racial residential segregation.
Dr. Otis W. Kirksey, ADA President of Health Care and Education tells us more about the recent findings and what we can learn from them.
But first, criminal cases in New Orleans headed back online at the beginning of this week, not due to COVID, but due to violence and staffing issues. Will Snowden, Director of Vera Institute of Justice - New Orleans, tells us more about the recent increase of violence and deaths at New Orleans jails and how Sheriff Susan Hutson is responding.
And, while Louisianans are gearing up for another hurricane season, one frequently overlooked factor of forecasting is the Loop Current: an ocean current that curls north past Yucatan into the Gulf and then swings east past Florida before joining the Gulf Stream. Professor of Oceanography at the University of Miami, Dr. Nick Shay joins us to share more about the Loop Current and what its impact might be.
Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz. Our engineers are Garrett Pittman, Aubry Procell, and Thomas Walsh.

How one online database is retelling the stories of those who escaped from American slavery
Juneteenth, a day to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people, is just around the corner. We learn how some local venues, including the New Orleans African American Museum, are celebrating the holiday.
But equally important to celebrating is learning more about the lives of the enslaved. University of New Orleans Professor Mary Niall Mitchell tells us about Freedom on the Move, an online database that seeks to document the lives of escaped people through newspaper ads placed by enslavers. We learn more about her research and how a recent grant will help expand this work.
