#54 TEEN SERIES part 2: Insulin Needs in Teens with Rachel Halverson, CDCES
Description
Episode 54 features Rachel Halverson, CDCES. If you remember, Rachel is the trooper that joined me for ALL 10 weeks of the newly diagnosed series. Today, Rachel and I discuss a general overview of insulin needs in teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes. Rachel has been living with T1D for the past 25 years and has been a volunteer camp counselor at Camp Kudzu in Georgia for years working with teens of all ages. This episode describes what is going on physiologically in a teens body throughout puberty and how that may be reflected in the insulin needs and blood sugars. WARNING: This episode does cover what may be considered as more young adult and adult topics such as the menstrual cycle in case you have little ears listening and want to avoid an onslaught of potentially awkward questions on the way to school.

Check out the camp where Rachel volunteers at, Camp Kudzu, in Georgia.
