Episode Synopsis

Screening for Type 1 diabetes is crucial for earlier detection and management of the disease, but many people don’t know that they should be screened or how to access that screening.  In the 2nd episode in our three-part series on T1D screening, University Hospital’s Chief of Staff - Office of President & CEO, Franklin Hickey, PhD, RN, NEA, BC, Executive Director of Community and Population Health, Colette Barrow Adams, PhD, MPA, MDiv, and JDRF Patient Navigator, Courtney Harris joined The Huddle to talk about a partnership with Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) that has allowed more than 1,000 people to be screened for early T1D in the underserved Newark, New Jersey area. They also discuss the importance of meeting people where they are and understanding barriers to access when looking to increase screening rates. Educational grant support for this episode is provided by Sanofi.View our guide covering some of the ins and outs of screening, educational grant support provided by Sanofi: T1D Screening (adces.org)Listen to the other episodes in our T1D screening series:Learn more about the ins and outs of T1D and screening here: https://thehuddle.simplecast.com/episodes/revisiting-t1d-myths-screening-anastasia-a-oneillLearn more about psychosocial considerations with screening here: https://thehuddle.simplecast.com/episodes/psychosocial-considerations-t1d-screeningLearn more about University Hospital here: Hospital Administration - University Hospital (uhnj.org)Lean more about Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) here: Type 1 Diabetes - Breakthrough T1DLearn more about the partnership between University Hospitals and JDRF here: Inclusive Health: Creating Access to Type 1 Diabetes Screening in Underserved Communities (beyondtype1.org)
