Seattle Children's diabetes self-management program has received a stamp of approval by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

Self-management is an essential part of effective diabetes treatment and helps reduce complications and prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.

ADA Education Recognition Program

The ADA Education Recognition program has become the leading quality-assurance mechanism for diabetes self-management education programs across the country.

Programs must have a staff of knowledgeable health professionals who provide state-of-the-art information about diabetes management to earn the ADA's prestigious recognition.

Children's team of physicians, certified diabetes nurse educators, dietitians and social workers develops training materials, helps establish individual goals and tracks progress for each child and family.
