Episode Synopsis

We talk to John Dennis, a data science researcher working in the University of Exeter. He used data from 1 million people with Type 2 diabetes to discover how the clinical characteristics of a patient alter the glucose lowering with different treatments. John’s 5 drug model, published in the Lancet in late February 2025, uses simple clinical information to identify, for the first time, the best glucose lowering treatment for a patient.  The model selected best treatment lowers the glucose most, doubles  the time before another medication is needed and reduces long term complications of diabetes.
