When treating families with type 1 diabetes I strongly believe that the parent knows best because they are living with their child day in and day out. After the initial education phase at the time of initial diagnosis is completed, I see myself as one of the team players in a team led by the child and his/her parents. My role is to guide them by offering the most current medical knowledge and technological advancements available to improve diabetes control while keeping in mind that our most important goal is to have a happy, healthy child.
