description Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a rare pediatric condition that is complex to treat and requires careful life-long management. This report outlines a case of a pediatric patient who recently immigrated to the United States without financial resources or health insurance. The social determinants of health play a prominent role in this case as they have created barriers for the patient in obtaining insulin and maintaining adequate glycemic control. Pediatricians should be aware of how social determinants of health influence glucose management and be prepared to help their patients overcome barriers to parental education and treatment.
