Diabetes episode

As a pediatric nurse, I found this to be an excellent podcast-good for healthcare providers as well as for cildren and parents.

Supriya Patel ,

Excellent podcast to listen

Dr Mike has been doing an excellent job. We are looking forward to listen his new episodes

BennyPack ,

Great info for parents and caregivers

Dr. Mike is great at giving nuanced info in a simple way, and making good points for at-home discussion.

Some episodes are deep dives into a single broad topic, and other are general news of the day for a big audience.

So glad Nationwide Children’s Hosptial does these!
