My ...I'm sorry to hear you have to go through this! My mom and I decided I wanted to test in class when I went in to junior high and we never expected the months it took to finally get that right. we eventually had to report the school before they would budge. Are they claiming the testing puts other students in danger?? That's what my school did.. absolutely ridiculous. But I'm glad you got through it, though it definitely hurts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694965513853411976.post-76837443937556758682008-03-21T09:40:00.000-04:002008-03-21T09:40:00.000-04:00Man, I know what you mean about feeling hurt by th...Man, I know what you mean about feeling hurt by this kind of challenge.<BR/><BR/>It feels like a betrayal, really.<BR/><BR/>Lea, do you have a 504 plan in place?<BR/><BR/>If so, then no one can stop Noah from testing in class.<BR/><BR/>If you don't have a 504-- you can still win this fight. A year after Joseph's diagnosis-- when we only had a Diabetes Health Management Plan, and were dealing with a nurse who was staunchly opposed to it -- I got the school to let Joseph test in class. <BR/><BR/>If you need any help at all -- or just want to rant without fear of who's reading -- please feel free to email me directly.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there.Sandra Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664436447708465809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694965513853411976.post-16789771639146407302008-03-20T15:34:00.000-04:002008-03-20T15:34:00.000-04:00No child who is capable of checking his/her own bg...No child who is capable of checking his/her own bg should miss valuable classroom instruction time for a 10 second check.<BR/><BR/>FIGHT IT. There's NO risk of bloodborne pathogens from a simple in class bg check. The drop of blood is so tiny. Make sure your son uses only one lancet at school so no one will get another lancet. Make sure he wipes whatever blood there is on a tissue or napkin kept in the meter case. Make sure he disposes of strips at home. Then they have NOTHING to complain about. <BR/><BR/>(((((BIG HUGS)))<BR/><BR/>If they won't allow bg checking in the classroom, they can't allow anyone to scratch a mosquito bite, pick a scab or bite a nail because it may bleed a tiny bit! <BR/><BR/>If they insist your son has to leave class, insist all classroom instruction will cease until he returns because he's entitled to the same education as every other student in the class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694965513853411976.post-4761706081711325592008-03-20T10:30:00.000-04:002008-03-20T10:30:00.000-04:00I hate to hear this...I hope that everything is re...I hate to hear this...I hope that everything is resolved.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333101175027326658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694965513853411976.post-27172384122311048612008-03-18T14:16:00.000-04:002008-03-18T14:16:00.000-04:00I'm sorry to hear that; it's so unfair.
