In this episode of Women's Health: Under the Mic(roscope), join co-hosts Rachel and Kyana for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Rideout, a dedicated researcher whose innovative work in the field of insulin biology and diabetes mechanisms is reshaping our understanding of these crucial health aspects. Dr. Rideout's laboratory employs animal models to delve into the intricacies of diabetes, with a unique focus on both sexes.

Traditionally, research in this domain has predominantly centered on male animals, inadvertently neglecting the complex biological processes inherent in female animals. Dr. Rideout sheds light on why it's essential to include female animals and women in diabetes studies, emphasizing that such inclusion is essential for a comprehensive grasp of fundamental biological mechanisms. The outcomes of her research not only address existing knowledge gaps but pave the way for fellow researchers, clinicians and scientists to develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies, particularly for women living with diabetes.

Tune in to discover how Dr. Rideout's groundbreaking insights are transforming our approach to diabetes research, offering hope for more targeted and inclusive healthcare solutions. This episode provides a compelling glimpse into the world of diabetes research, we hope you will join us and listen along!
