Why Join Us:
The BDC Pediatric Diabetes Division provides families and patients
with an understanding of type 1 diabetes and encourages their
confidence in its day-to-day management. Present evidence strongly
suggests that consistent blood sugar control greatly diminishes the
chances of long-term eye and kidney complications. The Pediatric
Clinic offers complete education and support for children and
adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The expectation is that by the
time patients are ready to leave home for college or the workforce,
they will have the ability to manage their own blood sugars.
The clinic is certified by the American Diabetes Association, and
our nurses, dietitians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants
and social workers are Certified Diabetes Educators. Our pediatric
endocrinologists also participate in studies that strive to advance
and improve glucose monitoring and closed-loop technology through
observational studies and clinical trials at our Center.
