It's a shame you and your daughter had to go thru that. Glad it worked out!
We have been very fortunate to have a school district that includes both nurses and teachers that have been very accomodating to my daughter. Kudos to the WISD in Whitehouse…
It's a shame that it had to come to you being so lawfully proactive, but it takes one to encourage others. So, in a way, thank you for scaring the crap out of them.

Tell your story as to why you want to become a Diabetic Angel or start your own chapter of the Diabetic Angels and maybe your story will be featured!
I am a teacher. I have many students who pass through my doors each day who have type 1 diabetes that affects their academic performance. You can test a student or teach a student if their BS is 35 nor 400. The educatioal system does not want to acknowledge that these students have issues with Blood sugars that cause them not to be able to concentrate in school. I want to teach students that have type 1 &2 diabetes and educate not only my colleagues but the world. Treating a
diabetic person like others does not mean igmnoring the disease, it means accepting the fact of the disease and adjusting life and learning to the situation so the person with diabetes can be everything the good Lord wants them to be.
How did you find the Diabetic Angels? What were you searching for?
