Who is primarily responsible for your child's insulin dosing at school?
Poll dates: November 30 - December 7, 2011
Total Votes: 137
With almost all kids with type 1 diabetes using insulin pumps or MDI with rapid acting insulin analogs to cover meals, dosing at school is commonplace. While older kids can take care of this themselves, young kids often need help or oversight to be sure that they're dosing correctly. This poll gives us a sense of who is helping these kids.
Just about half of families (47%) report that their child is responsible for insulin dosing. Of those who get help, 68% rely on a school nurse or other medical staff member, with the rest split almost evenly between a parent coming to school (15%) and a school staff member (17%).
