For People With Type 1 Diabetes
According to the American Diabetes Association, nearly 1.9 million Americans have type 1 diabetes, including about 244,000 children and adolescents. T1D is a 24/7 disease that requires round-the-clock attention involving insulin intake, eating, exercise, and monitoring blood glucose.
The Mary & Lee Iacocca Program in Type 1 Diabetes at Hoag Hospital is here to help.
In addition to offering world-class endocrinology care to assist in the management of T1D, the Iacocca Program in Type 1 Diabetes at Hoag’s Mary & Dick Allen Diabetes Center offers one of the largest diabetes education programs in Southern California. The program’s team comprises diabetes educators, nurses, dietitians, a pharmacist, and a national board-certified health and wellness coach. Several of our team members live with T1D themselves, and therefore have first-hand experience with this condition.
