Diabetes back to school checklist

It takes a lot of time to manage diabetes for your child. We built this guide to de-mystify the back-to-school experience.

We organized the guide into bite-sized chunks of all the things you need to do to get your child back to school, stress-free.

Step 1: Prep for School

There are 3 things you’ll need to do to get prepared for the school year:

• Inform the school
• Get updated doctor’s orders and submit them to the school
• Prepare for school meetings

Step 2: Get Supplies

Your kid will need emergency supplies on hand at the school. You’ll need to provide low supplies to the school and prescription medication. Here’s what to do:

• Assemble your supplies kit (non-prescription)
• Refill prescriptions

Step 3: Build the Team

Build a great team and you and your child will never be alone. We recommend starting with these 3 people:

• Build a relationship with the school nurse
• Check in with your child
• Check in with yourself
