Hello there!
I’m Dr. Sheila Owens-Collins. I’m a Pediatrician, a Mother of a Young Adult with Type 1 Diabetes and an Author.
I’m so glad you’re here.
THE BOOK
Parenting Children with Type 1 Diabetes: A Guide for Parents and Their Village
As both a pediatrician and mother of a young adult with T1D, I understand the challenges families face when raising a child with T1D.
I am writing a book about managing T1D according to the age and developmental stage at the time of diagnosis. My goal is to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide for all families — both newly diagnosed and veterans — because together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by T1D.
