Treatment Options
You should schedule regular visits with your pediatrician and endocrinologist to help monitor any changes in your child’s condition.
Your child’s endocrinologist may prescribe medication to treat diabetes or other glandular conditions. The physician may also recommend different types of blood sugar meters, such as wearable devices, to help stay on top of your child’s blood sugar levels.
A balanced diet and regular exercise are key to controlling your child’s diabetes. Our pediatric endocrinologists can help develop a diet and exercise regimen that will keep your child on the right, healthy track.
