Important contact information
As a caregiver for a child with diabetes, you want to make sure that you are doing the
right thing and providing proper care. This guide is intended to be used in conjunction
with the child’s diabetes management plan, input from the parents/guardians as well as
diabetes team and the mylife™YpsoPump®User Guide. Refer to the mylife™YpsoPump®
User Guide for complete information on how to use the system and for description on all
related warnings and alarms. The User Guide is available online:
www.mylife-diabetescare.co.uk/ypsopump-userguide
Whether you are a parent, grandparent, school nurse, daycare provider or any
secondary caregiver for a child using the mylife™YpsoPump®insulin pump, this guide
will lead you through some of the key functions that you may need to perform.
In an emergency, call the child’s diabetes team as well as the emergency contact.

Tips for caregivers
School and everyday life
Nursery/School/Sport
As a caregiver, you can discuss with the child whether they want to talk about their
diabetes to the class. Perhaps they could deliver a presentation to the class about their
therapy and what it means to have diabetes.
To make sure they have what they need at school, it is important that you check they have
emergency supplies somewhere in the school. This should contain spare therapy items,
suitable food for treating hypoglycaemia, and their parents’/guardians’ phone number in
case of emergency.
If a child notices that they have a low blood glucose level, they should immediately
eat or drink some glucose, and measure their blood glucose level afterwards. Low blood
glucose levels can impact concentration.
Before sports lessons, the child must measure their blood glucose level. They should
always have fast and slow acting carbohydrates in their sports bag. Depending on
their blood glucose, you can help them decide what they should do before the lesson
starts.
If their blood glucose is low, they should eat or drink first (juice, fruit, bread, snack bar
etc.) and then measure their blood glucose level again after a period of time determined
by their HCP.
If the child does not feel well during the lesson and think they might be suffering from
hypoglycaemia, they should stop exercising immediately, measure their blood glucose
and if they find it to be low, treat the low blood sugar in accordance with advice given to
them by their diabetes team.

School trips and overnight stays
A school trip is similar to an overnight stay. There are a few things which need to be
kept in mind.
As a caregiver, it makes sense to discuss in advance with the child and their parents/
guardians what they can do on their own and how you can support them. Blood glucose
measurement times, insulin delivery and, if necessary, carbohydrate counting should
be discussed in advance. Whilst exercising in any way, the child may need less insulin.
If necessary, discuss high and low blood glucose levels, their treatments, how and when
it’s appropriate to give a pen injection and who to contact in case of emergency.
The child should always have have an emergency supply which includes the telephone
details of who to contact in an emergency.
Birthday parties
It’s important that children with diabetes participate in everything that their friends do.
Eating cake, playing football, climbing, having fun etc. Nonetheless, there are a few
things which need to be kept in mind.
As a caregiver, you should discuss the child’s diabetes either with the child themselves
or with their parents/guardians. That way, you can find out the best way to support
the child.
The child should always have emergency supplies as well as a note of who to contact
in case of emergency. While playing the child may need less insulin.
If trips or activities are planned, it makes sense to discuss this with the child and their
parents/guardians. You can talk about the activity itself, what time it will be, how this will
affect their insulin, when they should check their blood glucose etc.
