Diabetes In Children: Preparing A Care Plan For School: How Can A Diabetes Care Plan Help Your Childs Teachers And School Staff
How can a diabetes care plan help your child's teachers and school staff?
A diabetes care plan will help your child's teachers and other school staff know when and how to manage your child's diabetes. For example, if your child needs to eat shortly after taking insulin or to have a snack in class, then a teacher or other adult can make sure that this happens. At the same time, the teacher will know not to make your child stand out as "the kid with diabetes." Your child may also feel better knowing that his or her teachers or other school staff can help when needed.
The diabetes plan should also state that your child is allowed to:
- Use the restroom, eat, and drink when needed.
- See the school nurse whenever he or she asks.
- Miss school for medical appointments.
