High-Risk Diabetes Clinic

Types of Disorders Seen

• Type 1 diabetes mellitus with frequent admissions for diabetes ketoacidosis
• Type 2 diabetes mellitus on insulin therapy with frequent inpatient admissions

What to Expect/Scheduling an Appointment

Our diabetes teams identify patients who may best benefit from this clinic. If you think your child may be a candidate and has had more than 3 hospitalizations in the last year for diabetes please call our office and ask their endocrinologist if it is appropriate.
