The diaTribe Foundation is focused on improving the lives of people with diabetes. Their online publication, diaTribe, seeks to empower readers with useful, actionable information that gives them hope for a better future, and helps them live happier and healthier lives. Their tag line is “Making Sense of Diabetes.” As they have access to the world’s leading diabetes and obesity researchers and clinicians, they attend all the relevant conferences, and have developed expertise in this area. And many of them have diabetes, which perspective influences everything they do and write.
The diaTribe Foundation’s fourth annual “Solvable Problems in Diabetes” event brought together international medical leaders to discuss the most promising developments and advances in diabetes treatment. The event was held at the 2017 European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) meeting in Lisbon, Portugal. We hosted 150 doctors, researchers, advocates, and other guests, who heard from an all-star expert panel:
- Professor Melanie Davies – Professor of Diabetes Medicine, University of Leicester
- Dr. Daniel Drucker – Senior Scientist, Lunenfeld Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mt. Sinai Hospital and Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto
- Professor David Matthews – Professor of Diabetic Medicine, University of Oxford and Emeritus Founding Chairman, Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism
