At Sunset Pediatric Academy, our PPEC (Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care) program is an invaluable resource for children with chronic conditions, such as diabetes. We provide specialized nursing care for 12 hours a day, Monday through Friday, tailored to the unique needs of each child. For children with diabetes, this care is essential to maintain stable blood glucose levels and promote overall good health.
Our PPEC program offers a comprehensive approach that includes:
- Continuous blood glucose monitoring: We perform regular monitoring of blood sugar levels to ensure they stay within a healthy range. Our team is trained to administer insulin and prevent both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
