[QUOTE="AlistairSam, post: 961546, member: 206553"] My kid's school have a protocol what to do when my kid has a hypo and I discovered today they havent been following it for maybe half a year and I feel sick that I only now found out. Rather than giving him a sweet from his box, waiting and retesting, they have just been giving him his bolus anyway when he is already low. He told the assistant this was wrong but he was overruled and told me he gave up arguing with the adults. It makes me angry partly with myself for not checking his meter more carefully, but also for not arranging my own followup training with the assistants. The really annoying thing is the school last week made a song and dance about a classmate stealing the diabetes emergency sweets from his box, but all the time they have been risking giving him a really severe hypo. They have also not been retesting. It makes me more motivated to get a sensor for him, if I can persuade him to wear it. [/QUOTE]
