Diabetes and kids: an ounce of prevention

We offer a comprehensive approach to preventing and managing type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents, an epidemic that has no ethnic or cultural boundaries.
Our pediatricians look for signs of metabolic syndrome in young patients—the precursor to type 2 diabetes
When it’s found, our nurse educators counsel individuals and families on nutrition and other lifestyle changes to stop its progress
Our health educators offer classes in preventing or living with diabetes at any age, as well as gestational diabetes and post-partum diabetes for pregnant women and mothers
The Research Institute is studying data from our large South Asian patient population to develop earlier detection of and better treatment for diseases more common in this population
