As parents know, dealing with diabetes presents challenges for every member of the family. At Kovler, we can help parents meet the specific needs of young patients.
For example, we have programs to help younger teens understand the complexities of glucose monitoring and insulin management. And we can help older teens who may struggle with everything from erratic sleep and work/school schedules, to junk food or eating disorders, to peer pressure to explore alcohol or drugs.
With programs ranging from neonatal diabetes to teens transitioning to adulthood, the healthcare providers at the Kovler Diabetes Center are prepared to address the changing physical development, emotional issues, and varied levels of maturity that children experience. Our pediatric diabetes education program offers essential self-management education. As one of just a few structured pediatric diabetes programs in the U.S, we offer support for both parents and young people during this critical period of their lives.
