The Impact of COVID-19 on Diabetes Research

This episode of the Endocrine Outlook features a conversation with Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, MA, DPhil, a senior research fellow and departmental lecturer at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences of University of Oxford, focused on diabetes research during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Hartmann-Boyce is the lead investigator of an article published in Diabetes Care, titled “Diabetes and COVID-19: Risks, Management, and Learnings From Other National Disasters,” providing an overview of potential associations between COVID-19 and diabetes. Published in May, the article proved to be a valuable resource for clinicians in recent months. That being said, much has changed in the current landscape since the article’s publication so we reached out to Dr. Hartmann-Boyce to learn more about the role of medical research during the COVID-19 era.
