Assistant Professor
Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes
Yale School of Medicine

My personal experiences with type 1 diabetes for the past 33 years motivated me to become a pediatric endocrinologist and conduct research to help individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). My primary research interest involves studying how the macronutrient intake impacts metabolism and hormonal responses to hypoglycemia in youth with T1D. In addition, I have also contributed to numerous projects aimed at managing exercise for both youth and adults with type 1 diabetes. Further, I have become particularly interested in studying how individuals overcome psychosocial obstacles for patients and families with T1D. Overall, my goal is to conduct research to improve adherence, optimize glycemic management, decrease long-term complications, and improve psychological well-being in the pediatric and adult T1D population.
