Abstract

The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season was especially memorable for 3 major hurricanes-Harvey, Irma, and Maria-that devastated population centers across Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, respectively. Each storm had unique hazard properties that posed distinctive challenges for persons living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Diabetes care specialists and educators took on leadership roles for coordinating care and establishing insulin supply lifelines for people with T1D living in the hardest-hit neighborhoods affected by these extreme storms. Strategies and resources were customized for each population. Diabetes specialists strategized to provide mutual support and shared insulins and supplies across sites.

摘要

2017 年大西洋飓风季的三场主要飓风——哈维、艾尔玛和玛丽亚——分别重创了德克萨斯州、佛罗里达州和波多黎各的人口中心，令人记忆犹新。每一场风暴都有独特的危险特性，对 1 型糖尿病（T1D）患者造成了独特的挑战。糖尿病护理专家和教育工作者在协调护理和为居住在受这些极端风暴影响的受灾最严重社区的 T1D 患者建立胰岛素供应生命线方面发挥了领导作用。针对每个群体制定了战略和资源。糖尿病专家制定了策略，在各个地点提供相互支持和共享胰岛素及用品。
