Professor David Strain
University of Exeter Medical School, Exeter
Dr David Strain based in the Diabetes and Vascular Research Centre at the University of Exeter Medical School.
His main focus is the health of older adults with diabetes; ensuring the right patient gets the right treatment. He has performed the only study to date demonstrating the feasibility of individualizing targets for older adults across Europe. This has informed the new UK guidance document for the management of older adults with diabetes and Frailty, of which he was lead author.
Additionally, he has performed a global project exploring the causes of clinical inertia in diabetes in conjunction with the IDF called ‘Time 2 Do More in Diabetes’. As a result he has initiated several projects in the UK across primary and secondary care aiming to reduce this phenomenon
