The American Diabetes Association recently came out with an article urging non-medical school personnel to provide supplementary diabetes care for students. While the school nurse is primarily responsible for monitoring a student’s diabetes plan, the diabetes health care community feels it may be too much for one nurse to monitor, since many nurses are required to visit multiple locations in a day.
PublicSchoolWORKS’ Students with Diabetes course helps provide information to staff to help them respond to students’ diabetic issues in a timely manner.
Will your staff recognize symptoms of advanced hypoglycemia? Would they know how to respond quickly to an issue? Share your comments on our Facebook page.
