Reshaping How we Research Type 1 Diabetes
On this episode of Actions on Diabetes, host Krista Lamb will be chatting with two guests who are looking at ways to improve the coordination of care for people living with type 1 diabetes. The Reshape T1D project tries to understand how people interact with the health care system by involving those living with T1D and their clinicians in designing the research process.
Our guests are Jamie Boisvenue, a PhD student at the Alberta Diabetes Institute and the University of Alberta, and Patient Partner Kathleen Gibson. They are hoping to highlight have lived experience to help clinicians provide better patient-forward care.
Land Acknowledgement
We begin by acknowledging the land on which Diabetes Action Canada operates. For thousands of years, this land has been the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Anishinabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Mississaugas of the Credit, and it remains home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples today.
To the Indigenous Peoples who have been the stewards of the lands where our Network members reside and work, we extend our deepest respect and affirm our commitment to fostering understanding and appreciation for the diverse cultures, histories, and knowledge of Indigenous communities. We recognize our responsibility and accountability in advancing the ongoing reconciliation process and are grateful for the privilege to work and learn on these lands.
