[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1512324"] I assume you are talking about the "orange box". This is a absolutely back up strategy for hypos to be used only when your son loses consciousness during a hypo and unable to take any sugar by mouth and you are not able to get an ambulance. I believe this is incredibly rare. In nearly 15 years, I have only past out due to a hypo once (which was alcohol related so not likely to happen to your son on a summer camp :-) ) and on that occasion, an ambulance was called so the orange box remained sealed. Given an ambulance will come very quickly and the orange box needs someone willing and able to use the glucogone, my orange box has expired and I have never bothered getting it replaced. That said, if you feel more comfortable with the belt, braces and buttons approach, the orange box can stay out of the fridge for a long time so could go with your son to school every day. I have experienced many hypos, but feel unqualified to provide advice for a child. [/QUOTE]
