    Once known as juvenile diabetes, type 1 diabetes is most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults. Type 1 diabetes and even rarer genetic forms of diabetes (neonatal or monogenic diabetes) can develop quickly. For many infants and children, the first sign of diabetes comes when a child suddenly becomes very sick, perhaps sick enough to require hospitalization.

    At the Sutter Children’s Center, Sacramento, our dedicated care teams focus on every aspect of your child’s health to provide diabetes care. We make it easy for you to get answers to your questions and to move forward with an individualized care plan that works for your family. through our Pediatric Endocrine and Nutrition Services (PENS) Clinic, which offers both individualized and group education and support programs, and our Pediatric Healthy Lifestyle Program, which offers weight management support.

    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.
