I’m reporting a magazine/digital article for Health Monitor’s Clinician Update on preventing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The piece is geared toward pediatric endocrinologists and will focus specifically on prevention strategies—not acute treatment. Looking to interview a pediatric endocrinologist, diabetes educator, or NP/PA with experience treating adolescents with T1D. Topics will include when teens are at highest risk for DKA, common barriers during the adolescent transition (e.g., insulin omission, diabetes burnout, social/sports challenges), and practical, real-world strategies clinicians can use to reduce risk—including guidance on ketone monitoring (when and how to implement it).
