Description
Professor Stephen Gough talks about the development of personalised diabetes treatment. An estimated 500 million people worldwide will be affected by diabetes within the next fifteen years. Professor Stephen Gough believes that you cannot give every patient affected by diabetes the same treatment, since people react differently to treatments. Professor Gough looks at the reasons behind differences in the way that people react to diabetes treatments, in order to improve care and reduce the health and economic costs associated with the disease. Professor Gough aims to provide the right treatment to the right person at the right time in their disease for optimum results.
