Diabetes
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability within the US and around the world. The abrupt increase in the incidence of diabetes has been linked to different factors from genetics to major shifts in behavioral norms in our society.
In addition to extensive clinical work, Dr. Barboza has been a part of different research projects studying insulin resistance, diabetes management and the impact of improving diabetes control in patient outcomes.
