Diabetes Jeopardy! Test Your Knowledge

Curious to see how much you know about diabetes? Learn in an exciting new way as experts in the field go head-to-head for the first time in Diabetes Jeopardy!

Each year, diaTribe and Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD) host Diabetes Forum, a lively event where experts discuss and provide key insights on the latest diabetes news and breakthroughs.

This year, they decided to shake things up with Diabetes Jeopardy! a fast-paced, interactive (and hilarious) game show testing leaders in the diabetes field on the latest technology, treatments, and research.

Hosted by TCOYD founders Dr. Steven Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus (who took on the illustrious role of Alex Trebek), the first-ever Diabetes Jeopardy! contestants included:

Dr. Athena Philis-Tsimikas, corporate vice president of the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute
Dr. Juan Pablo Frias, chief medical officer, head of diabetes at Biomean Fusion
Dr. Justin Gregory, pediatric endocrinologist and type 1 diabetes researcher at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Dr. Leslie Eiland, endocrinologist and medical director of the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s endocrine telehealth program

But Diabetes Jeopardy! isn’t just for the experts. On top of hearing real-life insights from doctors with type 1 diabetes, this new form of educational entertainment challenges anyone – whether you’re a caregiver, parent, or person living with diabetes – to play along and test your knowledge. Who knows, you may even beat one of the experts!
