Research Interests
The themes of Dr. Cryer's translational research are studies of the physiology of glucose counterregulation - the mechanisms that normally prevent or rapidly correct hypoglycemia - and of its pathophysiology in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and the relationship of the latter to clinical hypoglycemia in diabetes.
