Liam sees Dr. Speiser as more than
his endocrinologist—he sees an army
general who’s fighting diabetes.
Children, like Liam, see us differently.
Because we care for them differently.
When Liam was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as
a toddler, Dr. Speiser provided him with world-class
care and helped his family manage the condition.
And now? Liam is enjoying a typical life as a
5-year-old kid.
But for Liam, Dr. Speiser will never be a typical
doctor—she’s his trusted defender. “She teaches
me how to take care of myself,” he said. “I follow
the doctor’s orders like an army man follows the
general’s orders.”
