Professionals of the Endocrinology Service of Cabueñes begin in the assumption a round through schools to familiarize teachers with the disease of some students
In La Asunción school this year type 1 diabetes is almost as an exam.But not of the students, but of primary school teachers.At least, it seems so under the interest demonstrated by the cloister of the center in receiving professional training on an autoimmune and chronic disease - the pancreas does not produce insulin - that only a few months ago was diagnosed with a primary school student.A 6 -year -old boy who not only his family and health experts, but also teachers, want8 cases in minors.
"We know that in schools there is a need of teachers to become familiar with type 1 diabetes when they have a student who suffers from it. They are children who require glucose controls, who may need the help of an adult if they have decreases or upsSugar levels and before that the teachers do not always feel well trained and those cases are very afraid of the ignorance of what needs to be done, "explains María Riestra, responsible for the Endocrinology section of Cabueñes.
Not only the assumption - also the corolla - has required in these years a basic formation of the experts of Cabueñes, although it has been the most recent request.And if first support was given in the hospital, last September the help reached the school itself and extended to almost the entire cloister."We have already been requested from other centers and we are very interestedIt makes a teacher receive one of these students thinking: 'My mother, what responsibility.' "
Chuseta Fuente, director of primary school of the Assumption, confirms the good experience that resulted from the collaboration with Cabueñes."We are very grateful because this time, which is not the first in which the center has a diabetic child, it is a small student with whom the entire cloister feels very responsible," he explains, detailing that a few years agoThey had another diabetic student, but older and that was practically self -sufficient in their care.The entire cloister perceived, Fuente explains, "that there have been many technological changes around this disease", to the point that the family and the child's tutor have now discharged an application for the constant monitoring of their glucose values.
