Tips for caregivers
School and everyday life
School and Sports
As a caregiver, you can discuss with the child, whether they want to show and explain
their diabetes and blood glucose monitoring system, insulin pump or pen. Maybe the
child would also like to make a presentation about diabetes in front of the class.
To make sure that the child always has everything with them at school, it is important that
you create an emergency kit with spare material and suitable food in case of hypoglycemia.
In this kit include the emergency contacts phone number.
When the child notices that their blood glucose level is low, they should immediately be
able to consume some glucose and measure they blood glucose level again afterwards.
Low blood glucose levels can make concentration and thinking difficult.
Before playing sports and being active, the child should measure blood glucose levels.
Depending on the age of the child, you can help them decide how to respond to their
measured blood glucose level. They should have some fast and slow carbohydrates
available in their sports bag.
In case of a low level, the child should eat or drink first (juice, fruit, bread, granola bar
or yogurt) and then measure their blood glucose level again after a certain period of time.
If the child does not feel well during the activity and thinks they might be suffering from
hypoglycemia, exercise should be stopped immediately, and they should measure their
blood glucose in case of hypoglycemia and act accordingly.

School excursions and overnight stays
A school excursion 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
what they can already do on their own and how you can support them. The blood glucose
measurement times, the insulin delivery and if necessary also the carbohydrate amounts
should be discussed in advance. While hiking, playing or being active, the child needs
less insulin.
If necessary, the measurements in case of a hypoglycemia should be discussed again
and should be defined, whether an emergency syringe should also be taken along and
who could and would want to give it in case of emergency. The child should always
have the bag with the emergency kit and the parents’ phone number with them.
Child’s birthday
Of course, the child may participate in everything at their friends’ birthday parties. Eating
cake, ice cream or pasta, playing football, climbing, having fun. Nonetheless, there are a
few things which need to be kept in mind.
As a caregiver, you should be informed about the diabetes by the child or the parents.
It is helpful to discuss this in advance with the child and their parents. This way you
have a plan on how the best to support the child.
The child should always have the bag with the emergency box and the parents’ phone
number with them. While playing and being active, the child needs less insulin. It is
recommended the child drink light or zero sugar drinks. If there is no sugar in the drinks,
no insulin is needed.
If special excursions or activities are planned, inform the child in advance so that it can
be discussed with their parents when, how and how much insulin will be needed.
