As it has each spring for over a decade, the Yale Pediatric Diabetes Program held an “Adulting with Diabetes Day” on May 19. The annual event helps graduating high school seniors with diabetes, as well as their parents, prepare for the next steps on their journey while navigating life with a complex chronic condition. The team behind this year’s successful event included Kate Weyman, APRN, clinical instructor in nursing; Eileen Tichy, PA, physician associate in pediatrics; Paulina Rose, health educator; Daniella Carr, staff affiliate at Yale New Haven Hospital; and Abby Flynn, postgraduate associate in pediatrics.
