Diet?
As you can imagine diet is very important to children with diabetes. They reallyhave to watch what they eat and count carbohydrates.
WHY CARBS?
Because carbohydrates turn to sugars.

What do Teachers need to know?1. The difference between High blood sugar /low blood sugar
and what to do.• What to expect with High blood sugar : the child maybe
sleepy, in lala land and often very thirsty and need to go to the bathroom a lot.
• High blood sugar is treated by giving more insulin. • What to expect with low blood sugar : the child will act
sleepy and are often hungry and shaky.• Low blood sugar should be treated immediately! Give the
child simple sugars such as glucose tablets, fruit juice or regular soda.
3. Teacher should also know that kids with diabetes don’t want to be different.
4. Teachers should NEVER deny a child with diabetes request for water or a blood sugar test.

• "I used to get angry sometimes and think that it‘s not fair. Then I just got used to having to manage diabetes and I just get on with my life." - Tom **
• "We had to give a talk to the class so I talked about diabetes and how I had to manage it. Some of the kids were amazed and some said that it was really cool that I could do the testing and stuff by myself." - Ty **
