Auxiliaries are missing to serve children with diabetes in schools

The Majorera de Diabetes Association will turn fifteen on December 9.An extensive trajectory that supports the work of this entity that has more than 200 partners in Fuerteventura and offers support to new members that are added as the incidence data of diabetes in the Canary Islands also advance.The numbers indicate that "cases increase every year", so it is necessaryTo the families that debut with this disease.

Thus, they expressed it in an interview in the La Voz de Fuerteventura program, in Radio Insular, the president of the entity, Juana Delia French, and the project coordinator, Isabela Calero.Both warned about the need to consider diabetes disease, such as what it really is, a chronic disease.

Although it does not hurt, if it is not treated, it can affect the organs of the body, they emphasized, so they insisted “it is not necessary to say: I have a little sugar.If you have sugar, you have diabetes, ”they stressed.

In addition to making visible the need to become aware of diabetes and point out that “there are many people who are not diagnosed and do not know that they have diabetes,” Amadi focuses his work on offering services and support to families.

In this context, the Association has wanted to make the concern of a fortnight of families at the beginning of the present school year because their sons and daughters do not have in the centers with auxiliaries who guarantee the well -being of minors who have diabetes during the school day.

There is a lot of concern that the little ones do not receive the necessary support, families cannot be calm without someone who helps them with insulin or in case of a sugar descent;Especially with the little ones who still do not know how to manage a situation of this nature, they said.

From Amadi, solutions are urged because the presence of trained personnel is essential for children with diabetes to have a safe and controlled school day.

The affected families continue to expect an response from the educational authorities and the company awarded the service to solve this critical situation.

Amadi, who has been operating since 2009 and turns 15 in December, offers various support services to families with children suffering from diabetes.They include nutritional advice, psychological support, educational workshops and awareness programs in schools, among others."Our goal is to ensure that children and young people with diabetes have all the tools and support necessary to lead a normal life," they said.

In addition, the Association also organizes extracurricular activities, being the only camp for people with diabetes over 18 years of age one of its most outstanding initiatives.This camp offers young people and adults a space to learn more about the management of their diabetes in a safe and socially inclusive environment.“It is a unique opportunity for participants to share experiences, learn to better control their diabetes and enjoy outdoor activities;In addition, they can go with your partner. ”

With the aim of continuing to raise funds for their activities and raise awareness about diabetes, Amadi will celebrate a charity on October 18 at the Puerto del Rosario Auditorium.

An initiative that returns to resume 6 years after being interrupted Poque is, among other things, a way of generating synergies among those present, make visible the work of Amadi and, also, to raise funds to continue with a work that results inThe well -being of the Majorera society.

It is not necessary to be a nursing assistant to monitor a child.
They could do a few hours in the INEM.

From what an inspector of Education of the Government of the Canary Islands told me, in Minor Islands it is difficult to find nursing assistants.In my case, residing in northern Tenerife, 6 -year -old boy with debut this summer, they put us auxiliary at 2 weeks after starting school.Of course, with medical reports detailing the need, insisting on the school, spoken with an inspector of education in the area, ...

The idea of ​​training non -health people to do this work does not seem adequate.

Greetings!

Hi, friend.
The problem is that there are not enough toilets.You imagine putting a nurse or a doctor, with all the training and years of study, to monitor only a child at school.
The child deserves it, I agree, but it is disproportionate to study both to serve only one person.
I believe that attending to a diabetic child, at least knowing the guidelines of what I have to do (hip = I give the dose of sugar that have told me and look at glycemia again in 20 minutes watching that it does not get dizzy, etc).
I say it because it seems impossible to put a toilet for each diabetic child.

@Lowcarb, but there should be a nurse in each school., for which you need to attend.

Totally agree.
Like a doctor in each residence.

It depends on the school, in our case there are other children who have benefited.The nursing assistant is fixed in the classroom of special needs (TEA, TDH, ..) and then is pending through freeviewup of our little one.It manages contributions so that it does not reach Hip, it supplies insulin and is with him in recess and in the ED classes.physics.I think it also takes care of food allergies of other children.In my opinion, that figure in the choles is necessary.I do not speak of nurses, but of auxiliaries.

There may be schools where the only thing to do is serve the child with diabetes, ... In those cases, it could be valued to put a reference school in the area where this figure exists for all this type of thing.

What is unacceptable is that fathers or mothers leave jobs because they have to be the ones who are responsible for managing their children's disease.

The lack of health personnel is a myth, promoted by the same people who direct public and private health.This is the reason why Spain is a large exporter of toilets throughout Europe.
The truth is simpler, I don't know what they want to hire.
