This is the 7th year of the annual event for pediatric diabetes patients and their families. Joe Solowiejczyk and Team Type 1 were back this year to offer their unique perspectives and methods for living with diabetes.

Working with the Hispanic Community
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Hispanics are nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as white, non-Hispanics. About 2.5 million Hispanic Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes, and millions more may have the disease without knowing it. To combat this, Vanderbilt Diabetes is actively involved in educating and treating Nashville's Hispanic population. For more information on Vanderbilt Diabetes' work with the Hispanic community, click here.
