About
Course Instructors
We are a team of physicians and researchers at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Our team has over 25 years’ experience working to understand childhood autoimmune disease. During that time, we have screened thousands of children and adults for early stage (presymptomatic) type 1 diabetes and helped hundreds of patients and their families understand the disease process and monitor for progression to symptomatic type 1 diabetes.
