Families often learn that a child has type 1 diabetes during a frightening medical crisis. Today, screening can help identify risk years before symptoms appear, giving caregivers time to learn, ask questions, and prepare with the support of a care team, instead of in the ER.
Join us for part 2 of this heartfelt conversation featuring a pediatric endocrinologist and a mother living with type 1 diabetes who made the deeply personal decision to screen her own daughters. She’ll share why she hesitated, what changed her mind, and how early knowledge brought their family peace of mind. In this segment, we will also talk about the opportunity to learn about therapeutic interventions and take action for delay.
This conversation is for parents, grandparents, caregivers, or loved ones who want to better understand type 1 diabetes screening and what it could mean for the children they care about. It's especially relevant for families with a history of type 1 and people currently balancing the decision to screen.
Thanks to the generosity of our funders, there is no charge to attend this event; however, registration is required: https://diatribenews.org/3TevdnN
