What to do next?
- Familiarize yourself with the location of your school’s Medical Alert List and review it
- If there are students that you work with on this list, ensure you know the location of their Support plan and their medication(s), if any.
- Review the Support Plans for each of your students
Teachers: In partnership with parents/guardians, speaking to your class about type 1 diabetes will help build a sense of acceptance, respect, empathy/compassion and understanding. There are many resources available to you!
