Preparing for School

Preparing for School

When a child or youth is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, or is starting a new school year, there is a lot to think about and to prepare. In this section you’ll find resources that can be used to get ready for school or to help educate school staff about type 1 diabetes.


For information on specific aspects of diabetes (such as blood sugar, insulin, and emergency management), visit the section on Understanding Diabetes. Also check out Supporting Students with Diabetes for resources designed for educators and staff.
