Diabetes
Over 17 million Americans have diabetes. Diabetes, a serious chronic disease that impairs the way the body uses food, is one of the most common chronic diseases in school aged children. Effective management of a student's diabetes is crucial. An Individualized Health Plan is necessary for the management of a student with diabetes in schools. The student’s Individual Health Plan (IHP) is developed in collaboration with the student, parent, student’s physician, school nurse and other MISD personnel, as appropriate. The IHP includes the routine treatment and care that will be provided for the student while at school.
Please notify the school if your student has diabetes.
