Children with Diabetes in the School Setting

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone.

For those of you specializing in pediatrics and/or diabetes: Are there any

laws that protect a child with diabetes when it comes to glucagon injection

for low blood sugar levels? My son's best friend is diabetic and runs low

frequently. Recently he passed out with a BS of 39, but the school refused to

administer glucagon.

Mom is very concerned as the school is still refusing to arrange for someone

to administer glucagon if the situation occurs again.

Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. The child is 9 years old.

Thanks.
