Diabetes Program ADA Mission Statement:

The Children's of Alabama (COA), in collaboration with the University of Alabama (UAB), believes that diabetes education for children with diabetes and their families is an integral part of the child's health care. The comprehensive Diabetes Education Program at COA encourages and promotes diabetes self- management. The program's qualified educators provide research- based information, technical skills, and psychological support. Teaching is individualized for each child/family based on the child's age and developmental level.
