Dr. Charlotte Boughton
Clinical Lecturer
Dr Charlotte Boughton is a Clinical Researcher and Honorary Consultant at the University of Cambridge / Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. Her research focuses on the use of automated insulin delivery (closed-loop) systems to improve outcomes for people with diabetes. She has led randomised controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fully closed-loop approach for people with type 2 diabetes. She also investigates the impact of hybrid closed-loop systems in children and adults with type 1 diabetes, and the role of ultra-rapid insulins to enhance performance. She is currently Chief Investigator of a trial of closed-loop for people with cystic fibrosis related diabetes. -
Mrs. Helen Brown
Specialist Dietitian, DAFNE and insulin pump educator within the Wolfson Diabetes and Endocrine Clinic (WDEC) at Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) since 2005. Qualified as a personal trainer in 2010 and has set up exercise workshops within clinic to help support people with type 1 diabetes better understands the impact exercise has on glycaemia and how they can manage this . Has experience working with the Cambridge University Boat Club to optimise their nutrition plans around their training. Currently involved with various hybrid closed loop insulin pump research trials at CUH and is excited to see new technology reaching our Type 1 population. -
