The 2020 Australian of the Year, ophthalmologist Dr James Muecke joins us to discuss the impact of sugar on our health and how it contributes to the cause of type 2 diabetes.

About Dr James Muecke

Dr James Muecke AM has been passionate about fighting blindness. His focus now is the leading cause of blindness in adults – type 2 diabetes – a spiralling epidemic that's impacting nearly one-in-ten Australians. James wants to challenge our perception of sugar and the impact it has in the development of type 2 diabetes.

Previously, James co-founded Vision Myanmar at the South Australian Institute of Ophthalmology in 2000. The $1 million program has developed and operated eye health and blindness initiatives in Myanmar. Inspired by this program's success, James also co-founded Sight For All, a social impact organisation aiming to create a world where everyone can see. With 80% of world blindness avoidable – and almost 90% in poor countries – James treats blindness as a human rights issue.
