DSMALive 'Rents: Chatting with an HCP about the DOC. Shara Bialo

Lorraine and Bennet chat with Dr. Shara Bialo pediatric endo, DOC regular and PWD. 

We talk:

• Don't let diabetes a secret. 
  • That is easier with Miss Idaho and the #ShowMeYourPump campaign.
• Kids may not tell the truth about their diabetes and it may be to protect their parents feelings, and they are super geniuses at the process 
• If and when it is appropriate why to give kids time alone with their care giver. 
• Foster opportunities to engage in a peer community 
• Diabetes care is stressful for all. Overcoming that stress may require professional help 

Shara Bialo is a board-certified pediatrician and is currently in her final year of Pediatric Endocrinology fellowship training at Brown University. She was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 9 years of age and has experienced her share of diabetes-related ups and downs. Ultimately, it helped shape her decision to pursue medicine and she now draws on her experience as both a patient and a physician to help others navigate life with diabetes.
