Changing Diabetes® in Children launched the Diabetes Besties series in 2022 to help bridge the gap in patient education materials for children living with diabetes.
The videos take a comprehensive approach to patient education and can be used by parents, caregivers and healthcare professionals to teach children about type 1 diabetes and how to manage it.
Education is critical to successfully managing type 1 diabetes, but specific educational material for children is rarely available. Digital video materials with visual and audio components can be more effective and captivating than written materials for young audiences.
