💙November is Diabetes Awareness Month 💙

Let’s take a moment to learn, support, and spread awareness about diabetes in children — because knowledge is one of the best ways to protect our kids’ health! 💪

👧 Type 1 Diabetes
• An autoimmune condition where the body doesn’t make insulin.
• Usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence.
• Symptoms can include increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and fatigue.

👦 Type 2 Diabetes
• The body still makes insulin, but doesn’t use it properly.
• Becoming more common in children due to genetics, nutrition, and activity levels.
• Can often be managed (and even prevented) with healthy habits.

💙 What Parents Can Do:
• Encourage balanced meals and regular movement
• Know the signs and talk to your pediatrician if something feels off
• Offer kindness and understanding — every child’s journey is different.

At Suffield Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, we’re here to guide families through prevention, early detection, and care — together. 💕

Halloween is creeping up — and while we love the costumes, candy, and fun frights, let’s make sure our little ghosts and goblins stay safe!

🧡 Watch out for tricky trip hazards in costumes 👗

💜 Carry a flashlight or glow stick to stay spook-tacularly visible 💡

💚 Check all candy before munching — no mystery treats! 🍭

💙 Stick together in a group — because even superheroes need sidekicks 🦸‍♂️

Have a fang-tastic, fun, and safe Halloween from all of us at Suffield Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine! 🕷️🧡

💙💛 October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month 💛💙

This month, we celebrate the incredible strength, joy, and individuality of those with Down syndrome — and the families, friends, and communities who support them.

Every child deserves to be seen for their abilities, loved for who they are, and supported in reaching their fullest potential.

At Suffield Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, we’re honored to care for children of all abilities and to stand with our amazing families spreading awareness, acceptance, and inclusion — not just this month, but every day.

💙 Got a minute? We’d love a little love! 💙

If your kiddo left our office smiling (and maybe with a sticker or two 😄), we’d be so grateful if you left us a quick Google review! Your kind words help other families find us and keep our small practice growing. 🌱💫
