How can people living with diabetes support others who don’t want to attend clinics or who feel that they are going to be criticized by clinicians for their diabetes management;
He shared what he could change about diabetes care if he could change one thing;

How can the Low-Middle income communities get the diabetes technology available to them, such as those in the developed communities;

How can schools uphold the student’s right to safely attend school, while enabling the student to experience equal opportunities and obtain equal education, and participate equally in activities with peers;
Finally, he gave his words of advice to the audience (caregivers, patients, and significant others).
A huge thanks to Prof. Partha Kar for agreeing to be our guest. This is an exclusive podcast episode and I do hope that you’ll be challenged and think about getting involved, getting engaged, and coming up together to create the change that this world needs!
