In this video, Jason C. Baker, MD, speaks with Diabetes in Real Life columnist Susan Weiner, MS, RDN, CDN, CDCES, FADCES, about how individuals with diabetes can stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future outbreaks.
Baker — who is assistant professor of medicine and an attending endocrinologist at Cornell Medical College in New York and the founder of Marjorie’s Fund, a type 1 diabetes nonprofit with a global initiative to improve diabetes education, health care access and economic empowerment — discusses how to encourage people with diabetes toward better self-care during the COVID-19 pandemic and details what to include in an emergency preparedness kit.
“It’s not too late if you haven’t prepared,” Baker said. “We’re not out of the woods with this yet, and so we need to continue to be vigilant and on top of controlling our own environment.”
