Why This Conversation Matters

The diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes shouldn’t begin with a life-threatening crisis. Yet, for many, Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is the first sign. This webinar is a call to action for clinical leaders ready to change that reality.

In this session, esteemed endocrinologists and researchers address the transition from reactive crisis management to proactive, presymptomatic care. We will explore the foundational role of provider education and discuss how advanced clinical intelligence can complement these efforts—helping clinics unearth hidden risk factors in the EHR to identify at-risk patients and effectively design DKA out of the patient journey.

What you will learn in this webinar:

Expanding the Screening Framework: Discovering why relying strictly on family-history screening misses the vast majority of new cases, and how proactive screening prevents the critical complications of a late-stage diagnosis.
Navigating the Primary Care Bottleneck: Examining the systemic barriers that make busy primary care clinics hesitate to screen, and analyzing the distinct clinical presentation differences between pediatric and adult-onset disease.
Overcoming Operational Barriers: Detailing how clinical systems can transition from traditional venous blood draws to simple capillary finger-stick testing, and how virtual “hub-and-spoke” monitoring clinics can support primary care without overloading standard clinic capacity.
New Options for Patients Living with T1D: Unpacking the immense metabolic value of preserving endogenous insulin production, and why delaying clinical onset until the young-adult “frontal lobe” transition window (ages 18–23) dramatically improves long-term self-management.
Securing Coverage & Ensuring Equitable Care: Reviewing real-world insurance coverage, denial management, and the ethical necessity of ensuring advanced screening workflows reach community clinics and underserved populations.
