[QUOTE="xxmush1983xx, post: 269551, member: 43173"] My daughter was diagnosed about 3 months ago, and to be honest the school has been fantastic with the injections. They do, however, have a full time first aider and some teachers are trained in giving injections. The DSN has visited the school a few times and I had to go in for the first week or so. There was already a pupil there with T1, so perhaps this contributed to ease with which they accepted it. The school will not, however, apply sunscreen or give antibiotics or anything like calpol, but I think schools need to realise that at the end of the day they have a duty of care and that insulin isn't just run of the mill medication, it is essential to prevent the child becoming ill. Is there a first aid team at the school? Even if you were to be present until your daughter was comfortable with others injecting her. The beauty of children is that they adapt so quickly, my daughter is 5 and has gone from being petrified of needles to injecting her self and pricking her finger to do blood tests. Have you had a meeting with the school about it? Michelle x [/QUOTE]
