McGill Cares: Exploring the relationship between diabetes and dementia

Wednesday, February 5, 2025 12:00to13:00

Join us on February 5th at noon for a special one-hour McGill Cares webcast to support informal caregivers. During candid, interviews with leading experts, Claire Webster explores topics related to caring for a loved one with dementia.

Exploring the relationship between diabetes and dementia

Christopher Labos, MD, MSc, is a cardiologist with a degree in epidemiology, an Associate at the McGill University Office for Science and Society and co-host of the award-winning podcast The Body of Evidence. He is a columnist with the Montreal Gazette and Medscape, featured on the Sunday Morning House Call on CJAD 800 Montreal, and has a regular TV segment with CTV Montreal and CBC Morning Live. He is the author of Does Coffee Cause Cancer?: And 8 More Myths about the Food We Eat, a book about food epidemiology and why food headlines are usually wrong.

Untreated diabetes has been identified as a risk factor for developing dementia. Dr. Labos will look at the relationship between diabetes and dementia and explain the lifestyle factors that can lead to developing diabetes, separating real science from online headlines.

This free webcast is in English.

McGill Cares is supported by the Amelia Saputo Community Outreach for Dementia Care.
