Welcome to the Diabetes Center for Children
The Diabetes Center for Children (DCC) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is dedicated to excellence in patient care, education and research. More than 2,000 children with diabetes are regular patients of the Diabetes Center, making us one of the largest centers in the country dedicated to the treatment and study of diabetes in children.
Patient care - a team approach
We believe that diabetes is managed best when there is a partnership between the family and the Diabetes Center team. This partnership encourages independence, self-reliance and collaboration, which increase the likelihood that a child with diabetes will experience a normal and healthy life.

Patient education and family support
The daily demands of managing a child with diabetes may seem overwhelming, but the staff at the DCC can help. We believe that the best way to manage diabetes is to have families and care providers working in concert. We will help you to take control of diabetes by supporting you as you become an expert in your child's diabetes. Learn more about our programs and services»
From research to practice
Because the Diabetes Center is located within a children's hospital that is ranked among the best in the country in both clinical care and medical research, the Diabetes Center has the resources to provide the most innovative clinical care. The Diabetes Center has a comprehensive and extensive clinical research agenda designed to improve treatment options as well as to advance the current knowledge of the disease.
