Help protect kids with diabetes in school
It matters where you go to school in Canada, if you are a kid with diabetes. And it shouldn’t!
- Parents have been told that their child can not register for a school because of diabetes.
- Children with diabetes have been denied orange juice to address their glucose needs during class, and others have been left alone to test their blood glucose in a school washroom or closet.
Except for New Brunswick, there are no provincial or territorial policies, regulations or legislation requiring school boards or schools to accommodate and protect kids with diabetes or other life threatening illnesses while attending classes or any school activities.
