What to know about Black Pediatric Endocrinology care
Black children with type 1 diabetes are twice as likely to present in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis than white children, and are less likely to use continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps (Willi et al., Pediatrics, 2015). Pediatric endocrinologists treat type 1 and increasingly type 2 diabetes in children, growth hormone deficiency, early or delayed puberty, and thyroid disease in kids.
