Children with type 1 diabetes must balance food, medication (including insulin) and activity every day in order to avoid high or low blood sugar levels. At school, this requires a bit of extra planning.
Parents/guardians:
• Ensure that the child has an Individual Care Plan with detailed instructions for lunch and snacks
• Inform the school of any special food restrictions
• Pack foods and drinks that your child enjoys
• Encourage open and honest communication with your child
