Diabetes Discourse

Host: John Buse, MD, PhD Guest: Beth Pyatak, PhD, OTR/L According to a recent study, fluncuations in glucose levels while sleeping can directly impact type 1 diabetes patients’ ability to complete daily activities. In fact, it was found that higher variability overnight led to lower sustained attention and lower engagement in demanding activities the following day. So how can we control glucose levels to help our patients feel better? Explore the study’s key findings and management strategies with Dr. John Buse and Dr. Elizabeth Pyatak, an Associate Professor of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy at the University of Southern California who worked on the study.
