Nothing About Us Without Us
Think you can’t define a research question or play an active part in planning a study without a PhD? Not so! For decades, research on people with diabetes focused on the patient as the subject, not as an active part of the process itself. In this engaging session, Dr. Holly Witteman, a researcher who lives with T1D, along with her colleague Dr. Maman Joyce Dogba both from Université Laval and Dr. Joseph Cafazzo, a researcher from the University of Toronto discuss how the role of patients in research is shifting. This talk, moderated by Krista Lamb, will leave people with diabetes feeling empowered not only to share their lived experience, but to use it to help find management options that truly fit their needs.
