Medha Munshi, MD has been a researcher on this topic for over 20 years, long before anyone was really talking about the issues we face as we live/age with Type 1 diabetes.  And she was the first to jump on the T1Dto100 Advisory Panel.

She is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School and founder of the International Geriatric Diabetes Society (https://www.geriatricdiabetes.org/).

She is a geriatrician and an endocrinologist who practices primary care geriatrics at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and directs the geriatric diabetes program at the Joslin Diabetes Center. This program utilizes an interdisciplinary approach that extends beyond the traditional diabetes program, considering clinical, functional, and psychosocial barriers faced by older adults before formulating individualized treatment strategies.

The primary focus of Dr. Munshi’s clinical research is to identify challenges faced by older individuals with diabetes, to develop strategies to overcome these barriers, and to improve clinical and functional outcomes, including quality of life.

One of the crucial areas for her investigation has been the risks and poor outcomes of hypoglycemia in the aging population. She has co-edited several textbooks on the topic of geriatric diabetes and contributed numerous chapters on this subject. She also co-authored the consensus report on diabetes management in community-living older adults and the position statement for diabetes management in the LTC facilities published by the American Diabetes Association.

This is a DO NOT MISS event!!!  We are so honored to have Dr. Munshi share her work and listen to the voices of our community!
