A member asked:

What to do with 2 year old with type 1 diabetes?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Peds Endo, JDRF: Find a pediatrician who is comfortable with the challenges of supporting the needs of a young child with type i dm. Find an excellent pediatric endocrinologist. Connect with the juvenile diabetes research foundation http://jdrf.Org. Ask to meet someone who grew up with dm to be your advocate and advisor. Good luck.

Type 1 Diabetes: If your 2 year old has been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, I strongly recommend you work with a pediatric endocrinologist in addition to your pediatrician.
