Managing Diabetes

Diabetes means life changes for both your child and your family. Managing diabetes includes managing three things: insulin, food and exercise. 

We offer you and your child the personal support you need to practice the kind of diet, hygiene and exercise that will allow your entire family to live a full and healthy life. 

Diabetes and School

Diabetes has to be managed throughout the day: Blood sugar needs to be checked, insulin given and more. Because of this, you’ll need to have specific forms on file at your child's school. Follow the instructions (PDF) to fill out the forms (.doc). 

Diabetes at Camp

Do you want to send your child to summer camp? There are many options for kids with diabetes. 

When Your Child is Sick

If your child takes insulin and becomes sick, you'll need to switch your child to a liquid diet. We teach you about this in our clinic. Read these tips.
