THIS is what I wish FAAN would help OCR put together for LTFA in schools.
In any case, there are a great number of things here that can serve as a marvelous template for wording/formatting as we deal with schools and try to advise them regarding best practices...
Helping the Student with Diabetes succeed-- a guide for school personnel (http://www.ndep.nih.gov/diabetes/pubs/Youth_SchoolGuide.pdf)
You might be wondering--- why on earth would diabetes management's 'best practices' matter for me??
Read. You will see.
The ADA has pushed management strategy for the last twenty years to acheive this. Twenty years ago, diabetes was handled the way LTFA are now.
Many of the social issues... and the worry and the isolation-- the SAME.
We can learn from them, in other words. :yes:
