Over the past 16 years, Dr. Fiallo-Scharer has focused most of her clinical practice and research efforts in the area of type 1 diabetes. Her research has been focused mostly on the application of continuous glucose monitoring technology to daily diabetes management to safely improve glycemic control in youth with insulin-requiring diabetes as well as in testing strategies for preventing hypoglycemia. Dr. Fiallo has also been involved in studies looking at the genetic and environmental determinants of type 1 diabetes autoimmunity, prevention and reversal of type 1 diabetes and tracking the natural history of the disease.

Dr. Fiallo’s philosophy in patient care is to establish a partnership with patients and their families in order to develop the best possible treatment plan for each individual child.
