In this episode, host Aaron Lohr looks back at the Endocrine Society’s Type 1 Diabetes Fellows Conference, which occurred last year, with two conference presenters talking about developmental challenges in type 1 diabetes, including psychological and social, across the lifespan. Our guests are Linda Siminerio, PhD, professor of medicine at University of Pittsburgh and executive director of the university’s Diabetes Institute, and Jill Weissberg-Benchell, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University.
