PLEDGE study explores how to detect diabetes early

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Type 1 diabetes is often diagnosed in the emergency room after life-threatening symptoms emerge.

A new screening study at Sanford Health is looking to change that through early screenings. Diabetes screening in children could even delay the onset or slow the progression of the disease.

Kurt Griffin, M.D., is a pediatric endocrinologist at Sanford Health. He joins In the Moment to discuss the PLEDGE screening study and how it could revolutionize how Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed.
