🎒 Supporting Children with Type 1 Diabetes as They Head Back to School! 🏫💉
Managing type 1 diabetes in children can be overwhelming for parents, especially during the school year. In my recent article in Times of India, I share key strategies to help children lead healthy, confident lives at school and at home.
✅ Incorporating regular routines, physical activity, and structured meal planning
✅ Using CGM technology to monitor sugar levels in real-time
✅ Teaching kids self-care, stress management, and how to recognize symptoms
✅ Keeping a diabetes journal to understand patterns and make timely adjustments
✅ Staying in close communication with school staff
Technology, awareness, and teamwork between parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers make all the difference. With the right approach, children with diabetes can thrive; physically, emotionally, and academically.
Let’s create a school environment where no child is held back because of diabetes! 💪👨👩👧👦
