Many Schools Failing on Type 1 Diabetes Care

reports on the front of its Science Times section that “too many schools are failing to provide the growing number of students who have type 1 diabetes [T1D] with the routine care they need, such as insulin shots or blood sugar monitoring, federal regulators and diabetes experts say.” In many cases, “parents do not know they have the legal right to insist on” such care. According to the Times, “many school officials do not realize that they are obligated to care” for kids with T1D. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/27/health/many-schools-failing-on-diabetes-care.html?ref=health
