Student with Diabetes

I would ask for a release to let you talk to his endocrinologist or pediatrician. Preface it with the caveat that you want to be on the same page concerning her treatment. Don't initiate any CPS report before you talk to the doctor, he may know the situation. Eating healthy foods is expensive and this family may not be able to swing it, trust me, I know from experience. This is my first year with a T1D and mom is OK when glucoses are in the 200's, so I have decided that I am OK with it.

I won't do the report, the teachers want to though. I'll call the doctor and see what's going on.

Do you have a diabetic plan in place for this student? Get written order from the dr that say "if blood sugar is over XYZ then the treatment is ABC"

CYA!!!!!

I won't do the report, the teachers want to though. I'll call the doctor and see what's going on.

If the teachers want to call, that is their right and their decision.

I have a diabetic plan up, I have gone to see his Doctor as well because his mother requested that I learned about what he has and what I can do for his OmniPod. But this just popped up because the mother has been causing distractions here at the school, and the teachers are starting to notice these things and want to report her. So I told them I will call the doctor and see what I can learn about the kid and send her my Logs of his BG and refrain for a while before we talk about this with her and the admin.

The diabetic plan basically states that if he gets above 160, to call mother and do the treatment, which is walk around, water and insulin. Since he has the OmniPod, it does the calculations for me, so they told me not to worry how much to give him. He has PE first then Lunch afterwards. I just checked his BG, its 382, I gave him some water and sent him to PE, in hopes it goes down. The machine gave him 2.45 units.

Speak with the doctor or the child's diabetic educator. I had a very similar situation last year and the meal plans that mom was turing in to the diabetic educator was WAY different than what the child was actually eating here at school. So, the clinic kept increasing his insulin, thinking he was insulin resistant, when really he was just eating crap food and not telling the educator. He packed, so I wrote down what he had for lunch for a week, sent it to the educator, and suddenly his lunches became much healthier!

Yeah I sent it to his doctor what he's been eating the last few days and what teachers told me he ate at lunch.

His BG just now was 233, he is eating mcdonalds pancakes, hashbrown and water. He got at least 3.80 units for lunch.

That's not a healthy choice?

*sarcasm* Totally, because McDonald's is known for it's healthy food.

So I got in contact with his doctor, she basically said that there's no reason to call CPS. As long as his carb intake goes well with is insulin intake, then he can eat what he wants. And that she will follow up with the mom on the BG numbers she has gotten during the last two weeks and see if they have to change his medication to fix the numbers.

That is why I said don't call CPS at this point. More and more endos are fixing the insulin to the poor diet than asking for a change of diet that may be unrealistic. At some point you have to meet them were they are.
