The intention is to develop a short-form module (e.g., a 5-minute video) as well as supporting materials. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>This initiative aims to reduce the number of children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition that can be prevented if diabetes symptoms (increased urination and drinking) are recognized early. The rate of DKA at the time of diagnosis has increased since the start of the pandemic. Expressions of interest should be made by the end of May.
