Are you looking for a PhD? Join us in Barcelona! You'll dive into a community of >100 PhD students from 30 countries exploring the frontiers of biology. You can also join an online workshop on 6 November (15:00 CET) to learn how to find the right lab for you. More info: www.crg.eu/en/content/t...

This #WorldDiabetesDay, discover the effects of low & high blood sugar, as well as science-backed management strategies & emerging treatments for type 1 diabetes from VCHRI expert Dr. Breay Paty:

Ask an expert: How can I manage my type 1 diabetes?

Approximately 300,000 Canadians live with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder with no known cure. Type 1 diabetes can pose serious challenges, but ongoing research is improving the quality of life for those with this chronic condition. Endocrinologist Dr. Breay Paty discusses the effects of low and high blood sugar, as well as science-backed management strategies and emerging biological treatments for type 1 diabetes.
