Don Buckingham

Don Buckingham's work focuses on improving clinical care for children and youth with Type 1 diabetes, particularly through quality improvement initiatives aimed at reducing complications like diabetic ketoacidosis, expanding access to diabetes technology (insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors), and addressing psychosocial and mental health needs such as diabetes-related distress and anxiety. Much of this research involves hospital-based programs and collaborative studies that test practical strategies for making diabetes care more effective and equitable, especially for underserved populations. This research would suit students interested in pediatric diabetes care, health systems improvement, and health equity.
