Send us a textIn this episode, I speak with Dr. Kathy Sumpter, who is Division Chief of Pediatric Endocrinology at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. We talk about diagnosing diabetes in children and risk-stratifying kids coming in with new-onset diabetes, as well as fluid and insulin management strategies for kids in DKA. Dr. Sumpter specializes in helping kids who struggle to control their diabetes improve their health, and shares insights about her successes and about the future of medical care for diabetes.
