Managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) can be challenging for patients, especially those from marginalized populations facing structural inequities. Families affected by T1D often grapple with managing a complex condition that requires continuous monitoring, timely insulin administration, and strict adherence to treatment plans. These challenges can be exacerbated for patients in socioeconomically deprived communities, where access to care and diabetes technology is often limited.

Asthma is now the most common chronic disease of childhood and we talk about how this is related to missing certain microbes in the gut. We also explore the gut-brain-microbiome connection using the example of Parkinson's disease.
