Rose Yeung

I am a clinical endocrinologist with special interests in improving diabetes care delivery with peer support, community health workers and improved educational resources.

My aim is to develop interventions for preventing and reducing the burden of gestational diabetes, improving outcomes for those with type 1 diabetes and assessing the impacts and treatments of young-onset type 2 diabetes.
