This individual healthcare plan is intended to be completed by the Diabetes Specialist Nurse for any child or young person with Type 1 diabetes in a school or Early Years setting. It is recommended that the plan should be discussed and agreed annually between the Specialist Nurse, parent/carer and the school. It provides a summary of day-to-day care, including regular times for blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration, the level of supervision required, special dietary needs and adaptations required when exercising.
People with diabetes are invited to attend the Diabetic Eye Screening Programme and the ‘What you need to know’ leaflet is sent with the invitation. The screening service is free and part of their overall diabetes care.
