School starts today around here and I’m excited but nervous. Going back to school with diabetes means a lot more than shopping for new Trapper Keepers.
We’ve had two meetings with Benny’s teacher so far. She’s never had a child with diabetes in her class or used an insulin pump, so there’s quite a lot to talk about. I have every confidence in her; my daughter had this teacher for first grade and she’s top notch. But diabetes changes everything.
North Carolina is one of only a handful of states that allows diabetes care in the classroom.
