Children's Campaign - Let's Talk Type 1 Diabetes

Children's Campaign - Let's Talk Type 1 Diabetes Children's Campaign - Let's Talk Type 1 Diabetes Every child has a right to education and every child has a right to medical care. Yet, Diabetes UK Northern Ireland have been made aware that some children and families across Northern Irelandcan face great difficulties as they try to access a normal education and simultaneously manage their diabetes safely. These difficulties include lunchtime insulin provision, discrimination in relation to school trips and extra curricular activities and a range of general care issues such as teachers being made aware, a private room being available, treatment during a hypo and childrennot being permitted to eat in class.

We are looking forward to working with other Trusts in helping to promote 4Ts awareness. Here is the press release whic was featured in a number of the local papers covering the Southern Trust: Integrated Care Partnerships (ICPs) in the Southern area are working in partnership with Diabetes UK and the Southern Education and Library Board (SELB) to highlight the symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. Research by Diabetes UK has shown that up to nine out of 10 parents do not know the four main symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. To address this lack of awareness, the charity created a campaign to highlight the 4 Ts of Type 1 diabetes symptoms. The 4 Ts stand for Toilet, Thirsty, Tired and Thinner: ToiletToilet- going to the loo a lot, bed wetting by a usually dry child or heavier nappies in babies; ThirstyThirsty- being really thirsty and not bein Continue reading >>

Managing Type 1 Diabetes In School: Recommendations For Policy And Practice

Managing type 1 diabetes in school: Recommendations for policy and practice We are experimenting with display styles that make it easier to read articles in PMC. The ePub format uses eBook readers, which have several "ease of reading" features already built in. The ePub format is best viewed in the iBooks reader. You may notice problems with the display of certain parts of an article in other eReaders. Generating an ePub file may take a long time, please be patient. Managing type 1 diabetes in school: Recommendations for policy and practice Sarah E Lawrence, MD, Elizabeth A Cummings, MD, [...], and Daniel L Metzger, MD Diabetes requiring insulin is increasingly common and likely to impact students in most, if not all, schools. Diabetes and its complications have major personal, social and economic impact, and improved diabetes control reduces the risk of both short- and long-term complications. Evidence shows that more intensive management of diabetes through frequent blood glucose monitoring, insulin administration with injections and/or insulin pumps, and careful attention to diet and exercise leads to better control. Since children spend 30 to 35 hours per week at school, effectively managing their diabetes while there is integral to their short- and long-term health. The Canadian Paediatric Society and the Canadian Pediatric Endocrine Group recommend that minimum standards for supervision and care be established across Canada to support children and youth with type 1 diabetes in schools. These recommendations are derived from evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, with input from diabetes care providers from across Canada, and are consistent with the Canadian Diabetes Associations Guidelines for the Care of Students Living with Diabetes at School.

Highlights From Our Diabetes Prevention Poster Competition

Home Blog Posts Highlights from our Diabetes Prevention Poster Competition Highlights from our Diabetes Prevention Poster Competition Organized by Arogya World in partnership with HRIDAY , and with support from Salesworth India Pvt. Ltd., three hundred school children participated in a week-long city-wide poster-making competition in selected schools throughout New Delhi on the dual occasion of Childrens Day and World Diabetes Day (WDD) on November 14th, 2011. The theme for WDD was Diabetes Education and Prevention, and so the children were given the following theme for inspiration: Diabetes Can and Must be Prevented with Exercise and Healthy Eating. All of the children received certificates of participation, and the winners also were given small cash prizes. Young children can grasp issues quickly and use art to convey clear and concise messages like the role of a healthy diet and physical activity in diabetes prevention. By involving children in such competitions, we can reach a much larger audience as the children take the message home and tell their friends and family about it. said Shalini Bassi, Head, Programmes, HRIDAY. Were delighted to present the winners here, and offer our thanks and congratulations to all of the participants for their imagination and creativity.

Diabetes Advocacy...going To School

Sending any child to school may often cause a parent great anxiety at leaving their little angel in the care of strangers for an extended period of time. This anxiety becomes ten-fold when sending a child with a chronic illness to school. No one can possibly care for our child like we do so how do you keep your child as safe as possible when you arent there? If you live in the USA, you ensure that you have a 504 Plan in place that outlines the quality of care and responsibilities legally required by the school. If you live in Canada the road is not as clear. In Canada, each board has a separate policy. If your board does not have a Diabetes Policy in place, approach them and ask that it be done. With the increased number of children being diagnosed with this disease, it is in their best interest to prepare specific policies relating to the care of students with this disease. Ask to have a say, investigate other policies and try to work out one that is mutually beneficial to all parties. Policy or not, 504 Plan or not, your child must still be educated and it is still the parents responsibility to do as much as they can to prepare the school to care for their child. Contact your school and ask for an in-service with all personnel who will be in contact with your child. Have your CDE or public health nurse attend to ensure that everyone is properly trained and aware of what is involved in having a child with Type 1 diabetes in their school. If your child is on an Insulin pump, you may wish to show the pump or have pictures of it made available so that everyone understands that it is a piece of medical equipment.You may also wish to go over some of the alarms so that staff are aware of what to do even if your child is either too young to understand or not able to communic Continue reading >>
