Diabetic Mom

Published

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem. I have a 3rd grade diabetic student whose mother does not want us to follow the doctor's orders for his insulin administration. For example, she wants his BG levels to always stay over 200 (not in his target range of 70-150), wants him to have mid morning snack regardless of BG level, and does not want insulin given for snack carbs. She does not want any SS insulin given at any time except lunch. He consistently runs 300 to 500 all morning but she remains adamant on this. The doctor's orders state that the parent may make changes as to medication dosing as needed. He also consistently has trace ketones in his urine. Thanks for your advice.

I'd be pretty concerned about trusting the building nurse if she isn't willing to advocate for this child.

Maybe try Blue Loop (allows communication between school, home, and providers)? Has anyone tried Blue Loop?
