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 Early T1D Clinic partners with people in the early stages of type 1 diabetes to evaluate and offer treatment options that may help preserve the body's own insulin production, and, for some, delay the need for insulin therapy.

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.
