I just wanted to let everyone know that since the Principle continued
to discriminate against my grand-daughter because of her having
Diabetes, she is now on leave and being investigated about this and
other complaints filed against her by other parents. Thank you all
for replying to my message and remember that there is hope out there
and to fight for what is right. It may take a while but in the end
you will win.
Again thanks to all who answered me on this issue.

Hi Betty, links area of this club? There might be a sight there
that might help you find the information that you
need. You’ve probably tried calling the American
Diabetes Association and Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, but
if you haven’t, maybe they can lead you in the right
direction. At the moment I’m not sure what is the correct
number to the ADA, I seem to remember it being 1 800
DIABETES. family.

Betty, chapter of the ADA? They might have resources to help
you. help? Perhaps provide a letter of
instructions? overstepping her bounds, as it sounds, try contacting the
school administration with your concerns. Another avenue
might be to contact the licensing or certifying board
that handles medical assistants/aides, if there is
one.

My daughter was told of this also on Wednesday.
The Diabetes Educator will be at the school on the
25th so I believe that it will be done at that
time…at least I sure hope so. These tiny little children
can’t take care of theirselves and are at the mercy of
total strangers in schools. There has to be something
that we can do to protect them and prevent untrained
people from causing any harm to come to them. As
unfortunate as it is for us to have this happen in our family
I fear it is happening far too many times without
being reported. One mistake with an insulin injection
is one mistake too many and somehow it has got to be
stopped before it happens to anyone. As we all know an
untrained person can harm a diabetic child’s body beyond
repair.
forwarding to us. Thank you so much for helping.
