Diabetes care and research at Sinai Health

Sinai Health plays a leadership role in the care, research and treatment of people with diabetes. Throughout this month we will share stories of patients, scientists, clinicians and caregivers who are impacted by this chronic condition.

We are leaders

• Leadership Sinai Centre for Diabetes at Mount Sinai Hospital offers an expert clinical team of endocrinologists, diabetes nurses, dietitian educators and a psychiatrist who work closely together to support and coach patients with diabetes.
• The Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute has been recognized globally for their work in the area of diabetes. The work of scientists like Drs. Daniel Drucker and Bernie Zinman have had worldwide impact on the treatment of the disease
• Mount Sinai Hospital is a leader in managing all forms of diabetes during pregnancy and in the research on the effects of gestational diabetes on women’s health.
• People with diabetes are 1.5 times more likely to have a stroke. Which is why diabetes treatment and education is a key part of Bridgepoint’s stroke program.
