Pediatric diabetes care

Many children and teens who use daily insulin shots to manage their diabetes are willing to try an insulin pump for more freedom and flexibility. Even toddlers can use an insulin pump with the help of their parents.

Talk to your care team about participating in our insulin pump programs. 

The Sutter Children's Center at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento provides a medically sound, nutritionally balanced approach to weight management. All children referred to our Pediatric Healthy Lifestyles program start with a medical check-up. After we determine your child’s fitness level and physical condition, a pediatric dietitian will create a program that balances their nutritional needs with a weight management plan.
