  • Are there any specific challenges you face when it comes to managing your child's diabetes at school? How do you address those challenges?
  • How involved are the school staff in managing your child's diabetes? Are they supportive and knowledgeable about diabetes care?
  • Do you have a written care plan or individualized education plan (IEP) in place for your child at school? How helpful has it been in ensuring their safety and well-being?
  • Have you encountered any difficulties or concerns regarding insulin administration or blood sugar monitoring at school? How have you addressed them?
  • What strategies or tools do you use to communicate with the school about your child's diabetes management? How effective have they been in maintaining open lines of communication?
  • Are there any specific accommodations or modifications you have requested from the school to support your child's diabetes management? How responsive has the school been in implementing them?
  • Have you explored any resources or support networks specifically for parents of children with diabetes in the school setting? How have they benefited you?

    Thank you in advance

School neednt be a nightmare for your child. Many children with type 1 diabetes have sailed through school without hassle. However, the standard of diabetes care in schools can vary.
