About

An intensive 13 weeks program that aims to improve glucose control in children with type 1 diabetes.

Full description

Our new PeDi-BoCa Program aims to help children with type 1 diabetes achieve better diabetes control by interacting weekly with their doctor/nurse practitioner (NP) and also by using a "smart pen" that can facilitate the burden of daily calculations with the use of an app on the phone.

Your child's doctor/NP will be able to remotely monitor your child's glucose every week (Dexcom) and make recommendations for changes, discuss solutions to possible obstacles and offer intensive diabetes education.
