Nationally, rates of youth onset T2D are rising and youth living with T2D are at increased risk of early diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. Within our own pediatric center, we recognized a growing population of youth with T2D who had unique needs not adequately addressed by the existing care model. This session will focus on our center's journey to improve care for youth with T2D by discussing how we identified and evaluated the problem and implemented PDSA cycles to standardize and improve care for youth with T2D.
