[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1761385, member: 32193"] I think it is about time the government passed a bill that would allow people from different job fields to have a diabetic nurse to go into the workplace and teach the basics of diabetes. It would help schools, playgroups and anyone who is involved with children to have a idea of what was happening. When i was 14 and 15 i was invited to soccer camps, mind we are talking 25 years ago. When i got there there were 3 coaches who had a chat with a diabetic doctor and had sheets of what they could go if i was unwell as it was i was unwell by having hypos at night but i went and got one of the coaches up and had some glucose and 2 biscuits and we waited 15 mins to make sure my BG was on the up. Teachers do have a hard job and the extra pressure of taking a diabetic child away but if the family and the teacher went to meet a diabetic team and find out what it would take to make sure the child is safe. The teacher could go back and then pass on what she has been told like if it is hot when they are away to reduce insulin and reduce it some more if they are doing exercise. My daughter is going on a History trip in july and 2 diabetics are going on the trip as well(my daughter is not diabetic). They asked my daughter if i would mind if they could ask me some questions, i said yes but only if the children and parents were there. We all got together on a Wed as my son has football practice, so the teachers asked questions and i let the children answer them and the teachers were looking at me and i was saying they are right, at the end of the night i gave them some websites and some information that i had got.
