Diabetes at School: What Every School Nurse Should Know About Type 1

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is one of the most medically complex chronic conditions managed in schools—and school nurses play a vital role in helping students stay safe, healthy, and ready to learn.

From blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration to Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, and emergency preparedness, there's a lot to learn. The good news? You don't have to figure it all out alone.

Whether you're brand new to school nursing or looking for a refresher, this guide will walk you through the essentials of supporting students with Type 1 Diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes: The Basics

Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition. The pancreas stops producing insulin, the hormone needed to let glucose into the body’s cells for energy. People with T1D must balance insulin, food, and activity levels 24 hours a day, 365 days a year- no days off!

At school, that means:

• Frequent blood sugar monitoring (fingersticks or CGM)

• Scheduled or flexible insulin doses

• Carb counting for meals/snacks

• Emergency plans for highs (hyperglycemia) or lows (hypoglycemia)

Know the Signs of Highs and Lows

Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia):
Can come on fast and be dangerous. 

Look for:

• Shakiness or dizziness

• Sweating

• Confusion or irritability

• Headache

• Slurred speech

• Seizure or loss of consciousness (in severe cases)

What to do: Follow the student’s Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP). Most students will need 15 grams of fast-acting carbs, rechecked in 15 minutes. Always keep emergency glucose and glucagon nearby.

High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia):
Usually develops more slowly. 

Watch for:

• Increased thirst

• Frequent urination

• Fatigue

• Blurry vision

• Nausea or vomiting (possible DKA warning sign)

What to do: Follow the DMMP, notify parent/guardian, and monitor for ketones if indicated.

Diabetes Technology Has Changed School Nursing

Diabetes care has changed dramatically over the past decade. Many students now use Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, or automated insulin delivery systems to help manage their diabetes throughout the school day.

These devices provide valuable information and can help improve blood glucose management, but they don't replace good communication or careful nursing assessment.

As you prepare to support a student with Type 1 Diabetes:

• Become familiar with the diabetes technology your student uses.
• Review the student's Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP) to understand when school staff should intervene.
• Know who receives CGM alerts and how your school responds when alarms occur.
• Remember that technology is only one part of diabetes care. Students may still need blood glucose checks, snacks, insulin adjustments, or emergency treatment based on their symptoms and DMMP.

The more familiar you are with today's diabetes technology before an emergency occurs, the more confident you'll feel supporting your students.

Helpful Tip: Every student's diabetes technology—and Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP)—may be a little different. Don't hesitate to ask the student, family, or diabetes care team to demonstrate how the device works and answer any questions before the school year begins.

What’s in a DMMP—and Why It Matters

The Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP) is your go-to guide for managing each individual student’s care. It’s typically written by the student’s diabetes care provider and signed by the parent/guardian.

It covers:

• Blood glucose monitoring schedule

• Insulin dosing and delivery method (injections or insulin pump)

• Meal and snack plans

• Exercise considerations

• Emergency actions for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia

• When to call home—or 911

Keep it updated and easy to access.

Remember:

DMMP = written by the healthcare provider and contains the medical orders.

Individualized Healthcare Plan (IHP) = created by the school nurse to guide nursing care and communication.

School procedures = district policies that help ensure safe, consistent diabetes management.

Understanding the purpose of each document helps everyone work together safely.

Questions to Ask Parents Before School Starts

Every child manages Type 1 Diabetes a little differently. While the Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP) provides your medical orders, a conversation with the parent or guardian can help you better understand the student's daily routine and individual needs.

Consider asking questions like:

Daily Diabetes Management

✔ Tell me about how and when your child was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.

✔ Tell me about your child. What should I know before the first day of school?

✔ What diabetes technology does your child use (CGM, insulin pump, injections)?

✔ Does your child usually recognize when their blood sugar is low or high?

✔ Are there symptoms that are unique to your child?

School Routine

✔ How independent is your child with diabetes care?

✔ Will they count carbohydrates independently or need assistance?

✔ Where do they usually check their blood sugar or administer insulin?

✔ Are there any classroom accommodations that have worked well in the past?

Communication

✔ When would you like me to contact you?

✔ How do you prefer to communicate during the school day?

✔ Who should we call if you're unavailable?

Emergencies

✔ Has your child ever experienced severe hypoglycemia?

✔ Have they ever needed glucagon?

✔ Have they ever been hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)?

✔ Are there any concerns you'd like us to be especially aware of?

Supplies

✔ What diabetes supplies will be kept at school?

✔ How often should we check expiration dates or replenish supplies?

✔ Is there anything else that helps your child have a safe and successful school day?

Helpful Tip: The best diabetes care happens when school nurses, families, students, and healthcare providers work together. Parents are the experts on their child, while the Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP) provides the medical orders that guide care at school. Use your first conversation to build trust, learn about the student's daily routine, and encourage families to reach out anytime questions or concerns arise.

Know the Law: Diabetes Care in Schools

In Illinois, the Care of Students with Diabetes Act (105 ILCS 145/) outlines specific responsibilities for schools and staff supporting students with diabetes. It requires schools to:

• Follow the student’s DMMP as written by their healthcare provider

• Allow capable students to self-manage their care (including testing and insulin) in the classroom or elsewhere

• Ensure trained school staff are available to recognize and respond to diabetes-related emergencies

Not in Illinois? Be sure to review your own state's laws and district policies before the school year begins.

Preparing Your School Team

Supporting a student with Type 1 Diabetes is a team effort. While the school nurse coordinates diabetes care, many other school staff members play an important role in helping students stay safe throughout the school day.

As you prepare for the school year, make sure:

✔ Students have immediate access to glucose tablets, juice, snacks, water, and emergency medications as outlined in their Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP).

✔ Teachers, coaches, substitute teachers, cafeteria staff, bus drivers, and other designated personnel know how to recognize the signs of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia—and understand when and how to get help.

✔ Staff members responsible for supervising field trips, extracurricular activities, or after-school events understand the student's diabetes management needs before leaving campus.

✔ Emergency supplies are readily available, and trained staff know where they are located.

When everyone understands their role, students with Type 1 Diabetes can participate safely and confidently in all aspects of school life.

Communication Is Key

A solid communication plan with families helps keep everyone on the same page. Use daily logs, messaging apps, or email—whatever works best. Ask questions. Clarify unclear orders. Keep the DMMP updated.

And most importantly: listen to the student. They live with this every day. Even young students often know their bodies better than anyone. Listen to their concerns, encourage self-advocacy when appropriate, and partner with families and healthcare providers to provide safe, individualized care.

My Diabetes Organization System

Over the years, I've found that having a simple, consistent system makes diabetes management much less stressful—for me, my staff, and my students.

Here are a few habits that have worked well in my health office:

✔ Keep all current Diabetes Medical Management Plans (DMMPs) together in one easy-to-access binder (or secure digital folder).

✔ Review every student's DMMP before the school year begins to identify medication changes, supplies, accommodations, and staff training needs.

✔ Create an Individualized Healthcare Plan (IHP) to guide nursing care and develop easy-to-follow resources for school staff.

✔ Track expiration dates for glucagon, emergency medications, and other diabetes supplies before they become a problem.

✔ Prepare for substitutes, field trips, extracurricular activities, and emergencies before they happen—not during them.

✔ Communicate early with families, healthcare providers, teachers, coaches, and other staff members so everyone understands their role in supporting the student. And advocate for 504 Plans when needed or required.

Final Thoughts

Managing Type 1 Diabetes may feel overwhelming at first, but it becomes much easier as you build routines, learn from your students, and develop systems that work for your school.

Remember—you don't have to know everything on day one. Ask questions, keep learning, and lean on your school nurse community whenever you need support.

How School Nurses Build Trust, Connection, and Community

From Trust to Teamwork:

How School Nurses Build Stronger Communities

+ This post contains affiliate links. +

Welcome! As a school nurse, you're so much more than the person who hands out Band-Aids and checks temperatures. You're a trusted adult, a calm presence in the storm, and often the bridge between a child’s medical needs and their ability to learn and thrive at school. 

One of the most powerful tools you have? Relationships.

The stronger your relationships—with students, families, staff, and your wider community—the more impactful your role becomes. Let’s talk about how to grow those connections and why they’re so essential to your work as a school nurse.

5 STEPS FOR SCHOOL NURSES TO BUILD TRUST, CONNECTION, & COMMUNITY!

1. Students First: Creating a Safe Space

You might be the only healthcare professional a student sees regularly. When you learn their names, ask about their weekend, or listen without judgment, you’re doing more than taking a temperature—you’re building trust.

When students feel seen and safe with you:

• They’re more likely to share how they’re really feeling.

• You’re more likely to catch things early—whether it’s a hidden health concern or emotional distress.

• They start to see the health office as a supportive space, not just a place to go when they’re sick.

Tip: Even small things like remembering a student’s favorite sport or complimenting their new glasses go a long way in building rapport.

2. Partnering with Families

Families want to know their child is in good hands. A quick phone call, a note home, or a positive email to share something kind their child did can help you build those bridges before there’s a problem.

When families trust you:

• They’re more open to sharing important health information.

• You can work together to support chronic conditions, medication needs, or mental health concerns.

• You become a vital partner in their child’s success.

Tip: Start the year with an introduction letter or email letting families know who you are, how to reach you, and that you’re here to help.

3. Supporting and Collaborating with Staff

Teachers and staff are your teammates. When you work together—especially when navigating tricky student situations—everyone benefits.

When you build strong relationships with staff:

• They’ll come to you sooner with concerns.

• You can help support classroom needs, whether it’s managing a student’s asthma, understanding a 504 plan, or promoting hygiene practices.

• You’ll feel more like part of the school’s leadership team.

Tip: Invite staff to visit your office for more information on certain situations, share health updates or helpful info, and remind them you’re here as a resource, not just in emergencies.

4. Reaching Beyond the School Walls

Some of your strongest supports might be outside your school building. Community partners can help you provide services, education, and supplies that you couldn’t access otherwise.

Tip: Keep a simple spreadsheet or list of your go-to community contacts so you’re ready when needs arise—or when someone offers to help!

5. You Deserve Connection, Too

Remember: you need support as well. Whether it’s a Facebook group for school nurses, a fellow school nurse in your district, or even an online friend who “gets it”—you’re better when you’re not doing this alone.

Final Thoughts

Strong relationships aren’t just a “nice to have” for school nurses—they’re essential. When people trust you, they listen. When you trust others, you collaborate better. And when students know you care, they feel safer, healthier, and more ready to learn.

So take a moment today to reach out, check in, or simply smile at someone you pass in the hallway. Every little interaction builds something bigger.

Because in school nursing, relationships really do make all the difference.

School Nurse Budgets: Tips for Making Every Dollar Count

Navigating the School Nurse Budget:

Tips for Making Every Dollar Count

+ This post contains affiliate links. +

Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: Whether you’re working with a robust or limited budget, knowing what funds you have, where they come from, and how to maximize every dollar can make a world of difference.

Introduction

A public school nurse's budget might not be the largest line item in the school’s financial plan, but every dollar counts when it comes to supporting student health. Whether you're a new school nurse or a seasoned professional, understanding your budget is crucial for ensuring you have the supplies, resources, and tools to meet students' needs throughout the year. Let’s break down the basics of a typical public school nurse budget, explore where funds typically come from, and discuss strategies to make the most of these essential resources.

1. Understanding the Basics of a Public School Nurse Budget

Most public school budgets operate on a fiscal year from July 1 to June 30, which means any unspent funds by the end of June often can’t be rolled over into the next year. This structure makes it critical to understand your budget early on and plan strategically for the school year’s demands. A school nurse budget might cover essentials such as:

• Basic medical supplies: Bandages, gloves, disinfectants, thermometers, and over-the-counter medications (as allowed).
• Equipment: Items like vision and hearing screening tools, blood pressure monitors, AEDs, and digital thermometers.
• Office supplies: Forms, filing systems, printer ink, and other supplies for managing records and documentation.
• Training and professional development: Some budgets may allow for conference attendance or CE courses.

Each of these areas directly impacts your ability to provide care efficiently, so being aware of your budget limits early on can help you prioritize and plan accordingly.

2. Know Your Funding Sources

Funding for school nurse budgets can come from multiple sources, including district funds, state health grants, and sometimes even specific programs that allocate funds for student health services. It’s helpful to have a conversation with your school’s administration or finance department to identify exactly where your funding comes from and what restrictions may apply. In some cases, donations, fundraising, or grants may also supplement a school nurse budget, so consider seeking these additional resources if your basic budget falls short.

3. Strategically Spend: “Use It or Lose It”

As you move into the second half of the school year, it’s a good idea to assess how much of your budget remains and create a spending plan for the remaining funds. This might include restocking items you know you’ll need for the next semester or investing in equipment that could make your job easier in the long term. Think of this mid-year check-in as a “use it or lose it” review. Identify priorities and stretch your budget by purchasing in bulk or collaborating with other departments on shared supply orders.

4. Planning Ahead for Next Year

Finally, keeping an eye on next year’s needs is equally important. Create a list of supplies or resources you would like to add to your office in the future, based on patterns you see in your student population’s health needs. If you’re noticing a higher number of students with chronic health conditions or mental health needs, consider advocating for specific funding to meet those challenges in the upcoming year.

Building a case for the importance of a well-funded school nurse’s office, complete with data on student visits, health needs, and the impact of proper resources, can go a long way in securing future support from school administration.

To Sum Up

Managing a public school nurse budget may feel like balancing a tightrope, but with a proactive approach, you can ensure every dollar serves a purpose. By understanding your funding, assessing your current needs, and planning for the future, you’re making sure that your students have access to the health resources they need to thrive. Remember, every tool and supply in your office contributes to a healthier school environment—so let’s make every dollar count!

How School Nurses Can Use Data to Advocate for Their Impact

Beyond Band-Aids™: Why School Nurse Data Matters

+ This post contains affiliate links. +

Helpful School Nurse Tip: If you're like many school nurses, you've probably been asked, "How many students did you see today?" While it's a simple question, it's also an opportunity to showcase the true impact of your work. By tracking meaningful data, you can move beyond simply answering that question and begin telling the full story behind the numbers.

Your Work Deserves to Be Seen

One of the most important lessons I've learned during my school nursing career is this:

Your work deserves to be seen.

School nurses do far more than hand out Band-Aids and ice packs. Every health assessment, medication administered, health screening completed, parent phone call, care plan developed, emergency response, health education lesson, and conversation with a student contributes to the health and success of the entire school community.

The challenge?

Much of that work happens quietly behind the scenes.

Meaningful data helps make that work visible.

Why School Nurse Data Matters

Tracking data isn't about creating more paperwork.

It's about helping others understand the value of school nursing.

Meaningful data helps make your work:

Visible

People begin to understand everything that happens inside the health office—not just the student visits they happen to see.

Validating

The numbers support what you've known all along: school nurses have a significant impact on student health, attendance, and academic success.

Valued

When administrators and school boards can clearly see your impact, it's much easier to advocate for staffing, supplies, equipment, and additional support.

Data Doesn't Have to Be Difficult

One mistake many school nurses make is believing they need to track everything.

You don't.

Start small.

Choose a few meaningful data points that are already part of your daily routine. As your system becomes more comfortable, you can always add more later.

Remember...

A simple system you'll actually use is far better than a complicated system you'll eventually abandon.

Start With What You're Already Doing

You may already be collecting more information than you realize.

Consider tracking:

• Student visits
• Medication administrations
• Health screenings
• Parent phone calls
• Care plans created or updated
• Emergency responses
• Chronic health conditions
• Classroom health education
• Staff trainings
• Referrals to outside providers

You don't have to start from scratch. Build on the systems you already use every day.

Tell the Story Behind the Numbers

Numbers alone are helpful.

Stories make those numbers meaningful.

Instead of reporting:

8,500 student visits

consider also sharing:

• What were the most common reasons students visited the health office?
• What trends did you notice throughout the year?
• How many students returned to class after treatment?
• How many emergency responses occurred?
• How many students were identified during screenings and referred for follow-up care?
• What percentage of your student population received nursing services?

Those details help administrators understand the impact behind the numbers.

Build a System That Works for You

There isn't one perfect system.

The best system is the one you'll actually use consistently.

Over the years, my own workflow has evolved. Today I use a combination of Google tools, Skyward reports, and Canva to organize data and create an annual report that tells the story of our school health office.

Whether you prefer Google Forms, Google Sheets, Skyward reports, spreadsheets, or paper logs, consistency matters more than complexity.

Ready to Get Started?

If you're ready to begin collecting meaningful data, here are a few resources I've created to help simplify the process:

• Google Form Nurse Log Sheet
• (original) Skyward Tips
• Beyond Band-Aids™: School Nurse Data Made Simple (CE Course)

Each resource is designed to help you spend less time worrying about numbers—and more time telling the story of your impact.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, data isn't about proving how busy you are.

It's about demonstrating the difference you make and sharing the story behind your numbers.

Because every medication administered, every health screening completed, every emergency managed, every family supported, and every student who returns to class healthier and ready to learn deserves to be counted.

Your work deserves to be seen.

School Nurse Starter Scripts - What do you say?

Conversation Starter Scripts for School Nurses

+ This post contains affiliate links. +

Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: Conversation Starters are SCRIPTS that can enhance communication by providing consistency, ensuring key points are covered, and improving customer interactions. They help deliver a unified message, maintain professionalism, and handle various scenarios effectively.

PERPETUAL POST

I've decided this will be a perpetual post about all about scripts for school nurses!  There are so many and instead of writing individual posts, I will just keep adding to this one :)    

Why School Nurses Should Use Starter Scripts?

School nurses can benefit significantly from using communication starter scripts in specific situations. By having a starter script in place, school nurses can maintain composure and professionalism, even in high-stress situations, leading to better communication.

Communication scripts prove invaluable when discussing sensitive health topics with staff, students or their parents. Addressing issues such as chronic illnesses, mental health concerns, or medication management requires a delicate approach.

A well-crafted script allows the school nurse to choose words carefully, providing accurate information while maintaining empathy and respect for privacy. This consistency in communication helps build trust between the nurse, students, and their families, fostering a supportive and understanding environment within the school community.

Ultimately, utilizing communication starter scripts in certain situations enables school nurses to navigate complex conversations with precision and compassion, ensuring the well-being of students and promoting effective health communication.

It's crucial for school nurses to have a clear idea of what they want to say before starting a conversation for several reasons. I won't go in depth right now, but here are a few key reasons:

1. Clarity and Precision

• Clear Communication
• Focused Message

2. Professionalism

• Confidence.
• Credibility

3. Efficiency

• Time Management
• Prioritization

4. Responsiveness

• Anticipate Possible Questions

5. Relationship Building

• Empathy and Support
• Consistency

If you don't have a script in place, then at least take a few minutes to think about what you want to say and how you want to say it.

I've used so many "starter scripts" over the years; both verbal and written. They help me guide the conversations into the right direction.  I'll start off by sharing a simple one that I use multiple times a day. You can use it or switch it up to make it work for you. 

Do you have stress out over the thought of making a phone call to a parent? 

Having a phone script (general outline) to get the conversation started might help. I typically start every call the same way....

"Hi, this is (how you are referred to), the nurse at School Name,

can I speak with (parent first name, last name)?" 

Then, get to your point...  Here are a few options: 

1. No worries, I'm just calling because ...
2. "I'm calling because I have Student Name in the office and they are complaining of XYZ."
3. "I'm calling because Student Name was in the the office. I wanted to let you know that during PE class XYZ. We've (insert assessment and treatment here). Just calling with a heads up so you can follow up with them when they get home from school."
4. "I'm calling because Student Name was in the office for XYZ. They want to go back to class now, but I want you to talk with them first and then we can decide. I'll need to talk wit you after you talk to Student Name, OK?"

As you can see, this list alone could go on and on! Once you have your routine down, then making parent phone calls will feel like a breeze!  Good luck!

Are you even a school nurse if you haven't been asked to call home or talk to a student about significant body odor issues? I like to start by contacting the parents via email first, and the wording I use is listed below—feel free to adjust it to fit your needs. I always BCC the staff member who asked me to address the issue so they are aware of the email.

Sometimes I receive a response from the parent with appreciation and more background information. However, many times I do not get a response back. I follow up with the teacher via email a few days later to see if the body odor issue has been resolved, and more often than not, it is! If there are still issues, I send a pass for the student to come to my office, explain the email and concern, and offer the same services I outlined in the email to their parents, including access to spray deodorant to use in my office if they wish.

I always use a relaxed tone, and usually, the students are receptive. There have been times, though, when students deny services, and in those cases, I send an email to their counselor or school social worker to see if they have additional information or if they'd be willing to follow up.

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out regarding a concern about Student Name's personal hygiene, which was brought to my attention by one of the teachers. I understand this can be a sensitive subject, and wanted to reach out to you directly to see how we can support you in addressing it. We want to help avoid any potential embarrassment or hurt feelings for your child, whether from direct or indirect comments made by others.

Please feel free to discuss this matter at home and let me know if you require any assistance or have any questions.

Below are some helpful school sponsored programs that you might be interested in:

• Moms Who Care program- they offer free hygiene products, clothing, school supplies and after school snacks
• The XXXX licensed behavioral health professional who can provide private, individual student counseling. Contact her for more information: XXXXX

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Sincerely- 

You can even include contact information for your school's social worker or counselor if you want. 

By the way, I'm at the high school level. I hope this helps one of you! Good luck :)
