Katrina Donahue, MD, MPH, professor and vice chair for research in the department of family medicine, and Laura Young, MD, PhD, associate professor in the division of endocrinology and metabolism, are co-primary researchers of a study to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on glucose monitoring in primary care patients with diabetes.
The team was awarded $500,000 from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to advance their research.
The funding was received as an enhancement to the team’s current PCORI-funded project titled Re-think the Strip, which promotes the de-adoption of self-monitoring of blood glucose among patients with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin, and encouraging these patients to rely on regular A1c tests for their glycemic control.
