Diabetes in School Children: A Recommendations and Resource Guide for Pennsylvania School Personnel  Diabetes in School Children: A Recommendations and Resource Guide for Pennsylvania School Personnel was developed to provide schools with key information, tools and resources that help them effectively manage diabetes in students. This guide is based on national best practices for creating and ensuring a safe, nurturing learning environment for students with diabetes. School administrators, nurses, teachers, office personnel and other staff, along with parents and students, all play an important role in diabetes management, and important information and tools are included for all of these stakeholders. This guide is also designed to define and clarify schools’ diabetes management roles and responsibilities. Accordingly, an entire section of this guide is devoted to summarizing state and federal laws related to diabetes management in schools.

The Plan provides the blueprint for how efforts, resources and interests can be combined to strengthen the collective capacity in Pennsylvania to ultimately prevent diabetes whenever possible and to assist individuals with diabetes to live their best and healthiest lives.
