Multidisciplinary Care for Your Child

At both of our clinics, pediatric diabetes experts provide holistic, family-centered care for more than 800 children with diabetes. Physicians, nurses, dietitians, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals work together as a team to minimize the effects of this chronic disease on a child's health, development, and future.

Your child's care begins with a thorough evaluation and accurate diagnosis. Our team then can devise a plan to manage the diabetes, which may include dietary changes, exercise, medicine, and weight loss.

Diabetes often runs in families, so our experts help you manage the disease at the family level. Our diabetes educators can help teach you and your child about blood testing, insulin injections, and lifestyle changes that your family may need to make.

When Weight Is an Issue

If your child suffers from severe weight problems, our "Fit Matters" program can help. This program teaches children how to change their behaviors so they can lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. Other weight-loss programs are also available and can be customized to your child's needs. Such programs can be effective not only for managing diabetes, but preventing it as well.

As your child grows, our team is available to provide ongoing advice and support. Working with your child's pediatrician, we can monitor your child's progress and help manage the disease over the long term.

Help for Children with Severe Diabetes

Despite their doctors' and parents' best efforts, some children may have complications from diabetes that affect their skin, vision, and organs. Our diabetes experts have experience treating the most complex cases of diabetes in children and can offer solutions that aren't available at other medical centers.
