“One in Six Billion” podcast about neonatal diabetes NOW LIVE

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new podcast, “1 in 6 Billion” – a fun journey into the worlds of diabetes and genetics. Hosted by experts Professor Andrew Hattersley and Professor Maggie Shepherd, this podcast is for anyone interested in diabetes or genetics.  It will aim to be a non-technical look at how science and medicine can come together to help patients.

About the Podcast
The title “1 in 6 Billion” comes from it needing just 1 change in the 6 billion pieces of genetic code for a patient to develop a genetic disease.   1 in 6 Billion will feature thought-provoking personal stories of people living with rare types of diabetes caused by a change in a single gene.  We will follow these with interviews with researchers explaining the excitement and frustrations of scientific discovery.  It will aim to be in plain English and not to require any technical background.   Whether you’re living with diabetes, a healthcare professional, a research scientist or just curious about the science behind it all, our podcast has something for everyone.

A new episode will be released every two weeks so be sure to subscribe to be updated when the next one goes live.
