He is widely published in medical and lay literature regarding endocrine and diabetes management. Professor Cameron&#8217;s particular interests are the impacts of type 1 diabetes on the development of the central nervous system and psychosocial aspects of care. His focus is to investigate better management of type 1 diabetes by testing new technology, novel drugs to reduce cardiovascular and renal disease associated with type 1 diabetes and exploring the impact of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia on brain function. He is President- Elect for the International Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes, has given many invited plenary lectures and is a member of the Hvidoere Study Group on Childhood Diabetes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One hundred years ago the first insulin injection was given at RCH.
