Children with diabetes from the Balearic community will be treated in schools by adequate personnel, which will prevent parents from having to move to schools to carry out the controls that their children require.
In this way, the Department of Education and Health of the Balear, to children with diabetes who were insulin pump carriers.
In this sense, the competent bodies have determined that it is the figure of the technical assistant (AT) -finding the special needs of children -, which is responsible for the proper supply of insulin and making blood glucose measurements thatThey are necessary, as reported today by the Federation of Spanish Diabetics (Fede).
To date, it was the parents of these children who had to go to school daily to provide insulin."But it was not the only inconvenience, since the lack of an AT responsible for this attention also prevented these schoolchildren from going to the school's dining room, and participating in excursions and extracurricular activities organized by the school," he explained to theentity.
"The fulfillment of this agreement is due, to a large extent, both Adiba's effort, as well as the continuous claims, complaints and writings made by the parents of one of these children, as is the case of Mar Varela, mother of Simon,A 5 -year -old boy, who since a year and a half is a carrier of an insulin bomb. "
As Varela said, "it is an important step, that we hope it will be maintained in time. At the moment we are satisfied, but we must remain aware of how everything evolves, since, as they are rotated among schools,It is possible that the next course a new AT is assigned to which the appropriate training has not been given and it takes time to provide it by the competent authorities.
