Preventing type 2 diabetes in high risk youth is a more recent scholarly interest. She has been instrumental in the development of practice-based research networks in nursing. She has been principal investigator for grants totaling over $20 million.

“ I am at heart a clinician who does research to help children and families coping with chronic conditions. My interest is in understanding the factors associated with good physiologic and psychosocial outcomes for children with diabetes and their families and testing new approaches to assisting them in this process. Thus, my research has developed ways to help children and adolescents manage type 1 diabetes better and to prevent type 2 diabetes in high risk youth. I teach research methods in the doctoral program and diabetes in children in the master's program in addition to mentoring students in both the master's and doctoral programs. ”
