Insulin: The bonus episode
Manage episode 279702220 series 2806053
Last month's episode focused on the incredible twists and turns that resulted in Dr. Frederick Banting’s discovery of insulin in the early 1920s. Today, we’ll hear more from our expert panelists.
Dr. Jay Skyler of the Diabetes Research Institute shares anecdotes from the early days of his medical career running a summer camp for children with diabetes and updates us on the search for a cure for diabetes. Toby Smithson, a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified diabetes care and education specialist, shares more of her deeply personal story of living with Type 1 diabetes from the age of eight. We’ll also hear from Dr. H. Franklin Bunn. He is the co-discoverer of the hemoglobin A1C measurement—a breakthrough that was instrumental in developing the test now routinely used to diagnose diabetes, prediabetes, and to monitor blood sugar.
We hope you enjoy this episode.
