I don't know what type she has, but the teacher says the student does not take insulin. Or maybe she has another disorder, diabetes insipidus , which is another situation entirely. Children who happen to have diabetes should be treated like anybody else. These snacks are part of the medical treatment of their diabetes and must be allowed. Disallowing snacks for children who require them can cause hypoglycemia.
Severe hypoglycemia can cause loss of consciousness.
Diabetes should have no effect on a child's education or performance at school. Comments and Feedback . Privacy statement .
