Diabetes Canada Podcast

Diabetes Canada funds millions of dollars in research every year towards improved diabetes treatments and, one day, a cure. In today’s episode, Toronto’s Dr. Bruce A. Perkins of the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital discusses what it’s like to be a diabetes researcher and endocrinologist while living with type 1 diabetes. He also explains his work in the areas of diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage), diabetic kidney disease and strategies to help improve blood sugar control, which includes the working on the artificial pancreas.
