Last month\, the National Clinical Care Commission endorsed limiting insulin price increases to the rate of inflation. \nExperts in the care and costs of diabetes will debate the need for a more comprehensive approach to this deadly disease and outline some of the ways the U.S. health care system can make care for patients with diabetes more affordable. \nView the webcast \nKaren Van Nuys \nTed Doolittle \nSanjoy Dutta \nEstelle Everett \nJoseph Burns \n\n\nKaren Van Nuys\, Ph.D.\, focuses on funding in the pharmaceutical supply chain and the effect of commercial practices such as copay coupons and copay clawbacks on the cost of prescription drugs.

Her research involves addressing the barriers to care among patients with diabetes\, inequities in diabetes care and outcomes and the disparities in access to diabetes treatment for vulnerable populations with Type 1 diabetes.
