Social Issues: School and Daycare

advertisement
Question from Chantilly, Virginia, USA:

We have an child (age 11) who will be attending an overnight camp for one week. It is not a diabetes camp. The camp is aware of our child’s diabetes and has a certified EMT on staff. Our child is able to provide his own care. Do you have a suggested outline for a letter of instruction that we can provide the camp?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

I would prepare something based on a letter to school. We have the following resources which you can use:

One-Page Care Guide
Information for Teachers and
Diabetes Management at School

From Diabetes Management at School, the following might be best:

Acute Emergencies of Diabetes,
Actions for Coaches and Physical Education Teachers, and
Actions for Food Service Personnel.
