Dr. Gunasekaran talks to us about her specialty in treating low income diabetes patients and the importance of building a relationship with the patient to help them successfully manage their disease.

Dr. Gunasekaran is an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetes care. She provides care mainly at Parkland Health, a safety net health system, for persons with diabetes.

“I feel like people who are from a low-income background or a disadvantaged background, often find barriers to accessing healthcare in general… And so, the changes that I can enact, or the help that I can give them, allows them to spread that beyond themselves, to potentially even their family and even as far as even their community.”
