Protocol for children with diabetes in Extremaduran schools

The Board of Extremadura has developed a protocol to attend to the 5,000 children or adolescents with diabetes in educational centers, to have their illness perfectly controlled, train teachers and get these students to be fully integrated.

The protocol, which is intended to be fully developed in the last quarter of this school year, has been presented at a press conference by the managing director of the Extremadura Health Service (SES), Ceciliano Franco;the Secretary General of Educational Quality and Equity, Antonio Tejero;and the president of the Federation of Diabetics Associations of Extremadura, Luis González.

Of the 100,000 people who have this disease in Extremadura, 70,000 of them diagnosed;The smallest part corresponds to the diabetes that occurs in childhood and adolescence, type 1 mellitus, which produces an absolute insulin deficit.

The symptoms of this disease are production and elimination of urine, thinning, intense thirst and others, and its strict control is necessary for the child to develop physically and intellectually properly.

In the region there would be up to 7,000 children with this problem, 5,000 of them diagnosed, and annually between 100 and 125 cases, according to Franco.

The protocol sees the light after two years of work due to the demand of the families of sick children, since they saw "goodwill" in the Board and the teachers, according to González, but considered it necessary to have a protocol of actionto give "security" to their children when they are at school.

Thus, this document contains a series of supporting measures and intersectoral work, whose main objective is to launch tools that help obtain optimal diabetes control of these people in the educational field.

The elaboration and implementation of this protocol has required a multisectoral and coordinated work and that has required the joint work with entities such as Freapa, Concapa, Federation of Diabetics Associations of Extremadura, as well as with professionals of education and health.

It contemplates all possible situations that could occur in educational centers in relation to diabetes, as well as promotion and education measures for health, support and joint work from health and health care centers, among others.

Some actions already executed have been the purchase of refrigerators to install in educational centers so that these people can safely save their medicines and other useful, as well as the realization of various training activities for both health professionals and teachers.

According to Garcia, the stable protocol "who has to do what" at a certain time -a crisis of hypoglycemia, for example -, and collects special needs that these students have, such as changes in exams of exams by medical reviews or in terms ofAlternative menus.

The families have highlighted, above all, the personalized plan that the student will have with diabetes and that, according to Garcia, guarantees that he meets the treatment while in school.

In this regard, Franco explained that there will be a nurse from the health center in the area in charge of each school, which will keep a record of these students and will be in charge of the personalized plan.

It's about "the closest thing to being at home," according to Tejero.

On the other hand, to the question of the journalists, Franco has assured that the diabetes patients in the region have guaranteed reactive strips.

The person in charge of the SES has explained that the position of his department is to "reduce" the supplier brands, but not the number of strips.

In the region there would be up to 7,000 children with this problem, 5,000 of them diagnosed, and annually between 100 and 125 cases, according to Franco.

The families have highlighted, above all, the personalized plan that the student will have with diabetes and that, according to Garcia, guarantees that he meets the treatment while in school.

Wing, come, the barbarity prize of the day ...: Shock:
problem?Diabetes is not a problem, it is a disease ... politicians are a problem, however useless.: X: Evil:

It is impossible that there are NI 5000 Ni 7000 children with diabetes in Extremadura: Shock: That would be about 5%: !:: !:!: !:
If there are about 160000 children under 15 in Extremadura: Link ... Kid = 447650
It is impossible that there are 5000 with diabetes .... that or have the highest rate in Spain and the world: o: o: o: o: o: o:
In the Valencian Community there are about 1800-2000 with 4 times more population.

Not to mention, that it is impossible that there are 2000 children without diagnosing diabetes ... and if so they must be on the verge of entering Cetoacidosis :?:?

And to finish the same error (if we put lies, nothing happens) in all places:
The nurses of the health center cannot go to all schools with 1 child with diabetes ... and if there are 5000, we don't even talk.
Or there is a nurse inside the school or the health center (already work loads) does not go by chance to click a child for food ...

Very well said, Owash.These agreements are a face washing, because then they are also a source of inequalities between the diabetic children of the same city, for the reasons that Owash has exposed, they do not put nurse in the school, nor do they assign a nurse in the health center,With which you face how it happens here in the Balearic Islands to all kinds of pilgrim solutions, nurses who do move, nurses that the health center is 20 minutes from school with which you cannot move, nurses who are crossing the streetBut it is the only one in the health center, inequalities and discrimination in flagrant treatment such as public centers endowed with a nurse that we all pay but from which only one child benefits, negative sharp to extend that solution to other public centers to other public centerswhere there are also diabetic children in the same situation and without a nurse that can move.Silly spending in training to teachers and support personnel who then for "bureaucratic issues" do not put into operation and only serve for these professionals to accumulate loans but uncompart children and parents attending school daily to put insulin to their children.Children who cannot remain in the school diningBalearics).
I wish you luck in Extremadura, but I assure you that here in the Balearic Islands what happens, you have to endure conferences and articles in the press where the politics on duty fill their mouths saying that they serve nosecuantos diabetic children, that lack of ethics, Expressions that put the hair at the end I am going to put some examples: head of Education: "You have to understand that schools come from everything", if lady even diabetics, because in Spain education is a right guaranteed by the Constitution andIn addition, schooling.Heal responsible for a mother who asked her to spend with her child if she was going on an excursion: "Your son is your responsibility, in addition to 11 years he already has to know how to control his diabetes alone, and if not to pay as we do my brothersAnd I to a lady who takes care of my mother when we are working "yes sir, in this case with two balls, if an adult can suffer hypoglycemia and need help from their surroundings, a child does not, what more wasted salary ... andbefore which Adiba is impassive without saying this mouth is mine.
