Type 1 diabetes has been increasing in the US, affecting more families. If children are not treated appropriately, there is increased risk of several complications. We are joined by Pediatric Endocrinologist Dr. Lindsey Loomba-Albrecht to update us on type 1 diabetes and children, including why this occurs, when it is most common, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and advances in diabetes care. If someone in your family has type 1 diabetes, or you know a family affected, then listen to this episode!
