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 and/or healthcare
provider and the mylife™YpsoPump®User Guide. Refer to the mylife™YpsoPump®User
Guide for complete information on how to use the system and for a description of all
related warnings and alarms. The User Guide is available online:
www.mylife-diabetescare.co.in/ypsopump-userguide

Tips for caregivers
School and everyday life
Nursery/School/Sport
As a caregiver, you can discuss with the child, whether it wants to show and explain
its diabetes with its blood glucose monitoring system, insulin pump or pen. Maybe the
child would also like to make a presentation about its diabetes in front of the class.
To make sure that the child always has everything with it at school, it is important that
you check with it whether it has an emergency box (spare material and suitable food
in case of hypoglycaemia) and the parents’ phone number with it or has positioned it
somewhere in the classroom.
When the child notices that it has a low blood glucose level, it should immediately be
able to consume some glucose and measure its blood glucose level again afterwards.
Low blood glucose levels make concentration and thinking difficult.
Before sports lessons, the child must measure its blood glucose level. Depending on
the age of the child, you can help it decide what it should do because of its measured
blood glucose level. It should have some fast and slow carbohydrates available in its
sports bag.
In case of a low level, the child should eat or drink first (juice, fruit, bread, muesli bar or
yoghurt) and then measure its blood glucose level again after a certain period of time.
If the child does not feel well during the lesson and thinks it might be suffering
from hypoglycaemia, it should stop exercising immediately and should think about the
measurements in case of hypoglycaemia 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 its parents what
it can already do on its own and how you can support it. The blood glucose measure-
ment times, the insulin delivery and, if necessary, also the carbohydrate amounts should
be discussed in advance. While hiking, playing or romping, the child needs less insulin.
If necessary, the measurements in case of a hypoglycaemia should be discussed again
and it should be defined whether the 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 box and the parents’ phone number with it.
Child’s birthday
Of course, the child may participate in everything at its 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
makes sense to discuss in advance with the child and its parents what it can already do
on its own and how you can support it.
The child should always have the bag with the emergency box and the parents’ phone
number with it. While playing and romping, the child needs less insulin. The child
should only drink light or zero drinks. Please get them or ask the child to take them with
it. If there is no sugar in the drinks, no insulin is needed.
If special excursions or activities are planned, it makes sense to inform the child in
advance so that it can discuss with its parents, when, how and how much insulin it will
need. Great treats can also be discussed in advance.
