Type 1 Diabetes in School -

Keeping Diabetic Children Safe at School

For a student using insulin, diabetes must be managed 24/7, including the many hours spent at school, on field trips and in extra-curricular activities.

 

The school nurse is vital in coordinating and providing diabetes care at school.  The school nurse has the responsibility and training to implement the student's individual diabetes care plan.  Creating a plan (called a 504 Plan) for how diabetes will be managed at school should be a team effort that includes school staff, families, and health care providers.  

 

It's important for every person that interacts with a diabetic child at school (teacher, staff, other children, school bus driver) to have the knowledge to identify Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia.

Helpful Tip:

Make sure your child wears a Medical Alert Identity Bracelet!

ID bracelet's are available in many different designs and colors!
