Living with Diabetes

Claire Levy explores the thorny issue of diabetes Stigma.

Stigma can manifest itself in many ways.

In this edition of our podcast, Living with Diabetes, DRWF’s Claire Levy looks at the growing development and implementation of technology in managing diabetes, from continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to hybrid closed loop systems. We hear from Shay Speakman-Brown at Dexcom about the developments they’ve been involved with, and Professor Partha Kar gives us his take on tech and

In this edition, we continue our series of interviews looking at interesting research projects funded by DRWF. Dr Mark Russell tells DRWF’s Claire Levy about research which studies a molecule that controls levels of specific genes and how this influences energy generation and insulin production in Beta cells.

In this edition, we continue our series of interviews looking at interesting research projects funded by DRWF. Dr Li Kang tells DRWF’s Claire Levy about research which looks at how the outside structure of cells change when they stop responding normally to insulin. This, in turn, alters how insulin works and informs the development of new drugs to help people living with diabetes

In this edition, we continue our series of interviews looking at interesting research projects funded by DRWF. Dr Tara Lee tells DRWF’s Claire Levy about research which explores how a mother's glucose levels, and insulin therapy, relate to a baby’s growth patterns and birthweight. It also examined which diabetes technologies help pregnant women to achieve their glucose targ

In this edition, we continue our series of interviews looking at interesting research projects funded by DRWF. Catherine Arden tells DRWF’s Claire Levy about research which studies the recycling mechanisms in beta cells during acute and chronic changes in glucose levels.

This special edition reports from our United Through Diabetes 2023 event - our biggest ever Wellness Day, celebrating 25 years of DRWF. Hear from our speakers, experts, researchers, attending our Wellness Event - United Through Diabetes.

Claire Levy talks with Dr Shivani Misra who’s been working with DRWF for over ten years, and has now joined the board of trustees. Her research has been investigating various aspects of genetic forms of diabetes in minority ethnic groups, and subsequently the identification of MODY - maturity onset diabetes of the young - in multi-ethnic populations.

In this edition, we’re looking at the impact of DRWF’s research funding in stimulating vital early development of new treatments and therapies. We’ve been talking to researchers who have gone on to win major funding under the Grand Challenge, a project funded by a £50 million donation from the Steve Morgan Foundation aimed at improving the lives of people with Type 1 diabete

Today we’re looking at the use of continuous glucose monitoring devices (CGMs) for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Claire Levy talks with Jake Leach, the chief operating officer of CGM developer and manufacturer Dexcom, from their US headquarters in San Diego, California.
