The purpose of this guide is to enable schools to ensure a safe learning environment for students with diabetes. These materials are based on the belief that children with diabetes can participate in all academic and non-academic school-related activities. In order for children with diabetes to be successful in school, a comprehensive health plan must be collaboratively developed by families, student, school personnel, and licensed health care providers. The individualized health plan (IHP) addresses medical orders and provisions appropriate to each student’s needs during the school day and for other school-related activities.
