Hi All
My daughter was diagnosed type 1 diabetic 3 weeks ago she is 10 years old, she is coping really well and is doing her own blood tests and injections. The diabetic nurses have said that i need to get in touch with the primary school and get the school to call them to arrange for one of the diabetic nurses to train a member of staff on how to use the blood glucose meter and how to deal with HYPOS.
I rang the school and have left messages for someone to contact me before my daughter returns to school on the 4th september so i can give them the phone number to call the diabetic nurses to arrange a date for one of them to go into the school to train a member of staff on how to use my daughters blood glucose meter and deal with hypos. I have not heard nothing as yet and am abit concerned on sending her back to school and no one in the school knowing what to do. The local council told me members of staff pop into the school regularly to pick up phone messages but it don't seem the case with my daughters school, i have mentioned its a matter of urgency. The diabetes nurses have just told me to keep on trying and leaving messages. The thing is i am loosing abit of confidence in this school so do i send her back next wednesday if i don't get to speak to a member of staff before then. I am also a type 1 diabetic so i know myself how quickly blood sugar levels can drop and also go very high and i feel that the school won't take this very seriously.
Has anyone had to try contact there son/daughters schools in the holidays and had any luck?
thanks
