Detailed 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.
