On the next Mayo Clinic Radio, diabetes specialist Dr. Robert Rizza discusses the diabetes epidemic. Also on the program, recent conflicting studies about the value ofcalcium in maintaining bone health in older adults have caused confusion. Endocrinologist Dr. Bart Clarke sorts through the details and offers recommendations for calcium intake. And with the official start of winter just around the corner ... emergency medicine specialist Dr. David Nestler has tips on cold weather safety.
