Ensuring that students with diabetes have the health services they need in school is important in helping them stay healthy and ready to learn. Managing diabetes at school is most effective when there is a partnership among students, parents, school nurses, health care providers, teachers, counselors, coaches, transportation staff, food service employees, and administrators. Support may include helping a student take medications, check blood sugar levels, choose healthy foods in the cafeteria, and be physically active.
Managing Diabetes at School
Diabetes doesn’t have to get in the way of a good experience at school. Remember, parents and schools have the same goal: to ensure that students with diabetes are safe and that they’re able to learn in a supportive environment. Schools can:
Parents play an important role in making sure the school is informed and kept up to date on their child’s type 1 diabetes management. They will work with principals, designated school staff and health professionals to ensure that everyone involved knows what they have to do to keep their child healthy, safe and able to take part in all the opportunities of school life. It’s the parent’s responsibility to tell school their child has diabetes as soon as possible. Students’ parents should give teachers and coaches fact sheets about diabetes and extra snacks to keep on-hand. Prepare school staff for highs and lows. All adults who supervise children should know how to use your child’s diabetes to-go kit. They should be able to identify and treat hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
Diabetes Self-Management
Help students to manage diabetes at a level right for his or her age.
Check that students with diabetes have all recommended vaccinations, including the flu shot. If a child with diabetes gets sick, he or she can take longer to recover than children without diabetes. Student’s parents Should be make sure that their child has all the vaccinations they need before starting the school year. Encourage students to wash their hands regularly, especially before eating and after using
Certain diabetes complications, such as damage to blood vessels and nerves, can affect your sweat glands so your body can’t cool as effectively. That can lead to heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which is a medical emergency.
People with diabetes get dehydrated (lose too much water from their bodies) more quickly. Not drinking enough liquids can raise blood sugar, and high blood sugar can make you urinate more, causing dehydration. Some commonly used medicines like diuretics (“water pills” to treat high blood pressure) can dehydrate you too.
High temperatures can change how your body uses insulin. You may need to test your blood sugar more often and adjust your insulin dose and what you eat and drink.
Warm-weather wisdom:
In celebration of National Diabetes Week, blood sugar measurements were conducted for the employees at Hitco Group as a diabetes screening initiative. The aim of this activity was to raise awareness about the risk factors for diabetes, emphasize the importance of a healthy diet, and encourage regular medical check-ups. It is hoped that by carrying out such activities, we can take effective steps towards raising awareness and promoting the health of our esteemed colleagues at Hitco.

Puts patients at risk for healthcare-associated infections
When prescription medicines are obtained or used illegally, it is called drug diversion. Healthcare providers who steal prescription medicines or controlled substances such as opioids for their own use put patients at risk.
This can result in several types of patient harm, including:
Addiction to prescription narcotics has reached epidemic proportions and is a major driver of drug diversion.
CDC and state and local health departments have assisted in the investigation of infection outbreaks stemming from drug diversion activities that involved healthcare providers who tampered with injectable drugs.

New estimates published last week in The Lancet indicate that more than 1·31 billion people worldwide could be living with diabetes by 2050. The data confirms diabetes as one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, affecting people regardless of country, age group, or sex. The increase in prevalence is expected to be driven by increases in type 2 diabetes, which in turn will be caused by a rise in the prevalence of obesity and by demographic shifts.
Location-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence and impact were produced for the period 1990-2021 using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD).
IDF Diabetes Atlas co-chairs Professors Dianna Magliano and Edward Boyko contributed* to the The Lancet article and provided the following comment on the GBD study estimates:
The Global Burden of Disease Study estimates confirm how common diabetes has become with over a half a billion people affected in 2021 and no country spared from the pandemic. The GBD study estimate of 529 million people living with diabetes in 2021 is supported not only by the rigorous methodology which produced it, but also by its agreement with the global estimate of 537 million published in the IDF Diabetes Atlas 10th Edition in December 2021. The GBD study projects an increase to 1.31 billion by 2050, which represents a more than two-fold increase in diabetes cases worldwide. As a point of comparison, the IDF Diabetes Atlas 10th edition also predicted a substantial increase in the number of diabetes cases to 783 million by 2045, among adults aged 20-79.
Both set of estimates portend a sobering global situation and provide stimulus to call our governments into action to find new ways to prevent diabetes and improve diabetes care. This is especially important for the regions of the world where the impact of diabetes will be the largest. The IDF Diabetes Atlas team commend the GBD authors on this work and their continued dedication to improving the lives of people with diabetes.
