Unmet needs of Italian centers for pediatric diabetes care: analysis of a survey among pediatric diabetologists facing the national screening program for Type 1 Diabetes
The observed decrease in the overall number of pediatric diabetes Centers, the reduction in specialized and dedicated HCPs, and the concurrent increase in the number of treated CwD in the last ten years indicate an alarming situation for pediatric diabetes treatment in Italy. Furthermore, the projected rise in CwD due to the National T1D screening program emphasizes the need for increased resources for specialized pediatric care of CwD at all stages.
