    Comprehensive Care for Your Child

    If your child receives a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, our care teams will work closely with you and your pediatrician to create a strategy that focuses on every aspect of your child’s health. We make it easy for you to get answers to your questions and move forward with an individualized care plan that works for your family. (If your child has type 1 diabetes, we can suggest excellent specialists in this area.)

    • Diabetes Education — We offer a variety of classes for you and your child, covering topics including basic nutrition and exercise guidelines; self-blood glucose monitoring, insulin,  diabetic emergencies and sick-day management.
    • Medical Nutrition Therapy — Nutrition and diet play an important role in helping your child manage diabetes. Your pediatrician can refer your child to a registered dietitian for medical nutrition therapy (MNT) that involves managing nutrition using prescription-based approaches and developing a personalized treatment plan.

    Diabetes, Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome Research

    Sutter Health Diabetes, Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome Research
    Diabetes is one of the leading causes of illness and death in the U.S. today, but it was uncommon just 60 years ago. Research is critical to slow down this growing health problem and treat the 29 million Americans who have it. Diabetes occurs when the body doesn’t make or use the hormone insulin properly. Cells don’t get the energy they need, and sugar from food – called glucose – builds up in the blood. Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes and is epidemic in this country.
