OverviewAI-generated summary

Heather Hunter's research focuses on diabetes management, particularly the use of automated insulin delivery systems in adults with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Her work investigates the benefits of these systems across different patient populations, including those with varying C-peptide levels and in conjunction with other treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists. Hunter also examines the impact of automated insulin delivery in individuals with Type 2 diabetes who have GAD65 antibodies. Additionally, her research extends to the social determinants of health, exploring the association of perceived discrimination with functional limitations among immigrant women and perceptions of discrimination among middle-aged and older Black Americans. She has also studied predictors of liver function among Mexican Americans with disabling arthritis.
