Dealing with Type 1 Diabetes in Times of Crisis
To support families in the wake of hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, or any event involving emergency conditions, JDRF has created helpful emergency preparedness infomation.
Type 1 Diabetes Emergency Checklists are useful in informing individuals who are not familiar with the clinical aspects of type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) of what to do in case they are faced with a diabetes emergency.
Sample School Type 1 Diabetes Care Forms offer a comprehensive overview of the Section 504 Plan. Section 504 is a federal legislation requiring the school to provide reasonable accommodations related to a child's type 1 diabetes before, during, and after school.
Finally, the September 2005 issue of the JDRF Life With Diabetes e-newsletter provides critical information on such topics as caring for your child with type 1 diabetes in times of crisis, an emergency "survival guide," and tips for dealing with new schools.
As always, JDRF's 100 chapters offer you extensive local information about diabetes care and support services, and activities within the chapter and in the community.
