  • 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
