[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 160707, member: 13451"] Don't let them get away with that cop out! The school has a duty of care for your child whilst she is there during the day. You have provided the staff with professional training by your DSN. Testing your daughter is necessary to avoid and detect hypos which if left can become very serious and put her health at great risk. Your daughter's diabetes is recognised as a disability and protected under the Disability Discrimination Act. The finger prick test is a quick and simple task to perform, it takes less than 5 minutes. It makes me so angry when I read things like this. Parents have enough stress in the early days following diagnosis, the last thing they need is that stress compounded by unco-operative schools. You can either fight their decision or choose another nursery who can offer a more caring environment for your daughter. But whatever you do, don't allow them to not perform the glucose tests if they are necessary, don't put your daughter's health at risk to make their job easier, your daughter comes first. Good luck, I'm sorry you're having to go through this, it's very unfair. If anyone is interested in taking part in this campaign with JDRF please follow the link: [url=http://www.jdrf.org.uk/page.asp?section=263§ionTitle=Children+in+schools+campaign]http://www.jdrf.org.uk/page.asp?section ... s+campaign[/url] or if my link is deleted (not sure it we're allowed to post a link) then go to the UK JDRF website, select the Media Centre link under the News tab and then select the "Children in Schools Campaign" link from the left hand side menu.
