Type 1 Diabetes and Down Syndrome: Navigating A Double Diagnosis


Listen Later

This week on Diabetes Connections… people with Down Syndrome are more likely to develop diabetes than the general population. It’s not really known why.. but having that double diagnosis brings unique challenges. I’m talking to Rhonda Gray – her son Trevor was diagnosed at age 8  (2010) and is now in his early 20s. What does T1D management look like with Down syndeom s? What does it mean for independence, holding a job, all the usual concerns. And How did Nick Jonas spark a big change for Trevor?
