Our focus is on women and minorities for two primary reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are most likely to develop long-term complications from type 2 diabetes, especially with blood vessels and the heart.<\/li>\n<li>Their needs historically have been neglected in important research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To find out more about our studies, contact Dr. Julie Wagner at 860-679-4508 or <a href=\"mailto:juwagner@uchc.edu\">juwagner@uchc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-52-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-52-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-52-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-52-2-0-0\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Khmer Diabetes Education<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-246\" style=\"margin-top: 10px\" src=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/diabetes-research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2018\/06\/eat_walk_sleep_khmer_only.png\" alt=\"Eat, Walk, Sleep for Health cover page\" width=\"450\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/diabetes-research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2018\/06\/eat_walk_sleep_khmer_only.png 908w, https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/diabetes-research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2018\/06\/eat_walk_sleep_khmer_only-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/diabetes-research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2018\/06\/eat_walk_sleep_khmer_only-768x597.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"btn btn-success\" style=\"width: 30%;text-align: center\" href=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/diabetes-research\/khmer-diabetes-education\/\">Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-52-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-52-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-52-2-1-0\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center\">DREAM Study for Diabetes<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/diabetes-research\/dream-study\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-91 aligncenter\" style=\"margin-top: 10px\" src=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/diabetes-research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/122\/2017\/04\/logo_dream_study.gif\" alt=\"DREAM study logo\" width=\"230\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"btn btn-success\" style=\"width: 30%;text-align: center\" href=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/diabetes-research\/dream-study\/\">View Study<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding How Life Experiences Affect the Diabetic Body Diabetes is a common disease, particularly in women and minorities, that causes suffering for patients as well as their loved ones.
