9-year old Type I diabetic girl who had hypoglycemia punished at school for taking a piece of fruit to raise her blood glucose
As a diabetic on insulin, this has me so angry that I cannot think straight. This is just totally inexcusable.
It is sad that school staff are not educated on diabetes, as these kids can actually go into a coma and die.
This could not have been handled in a worse way.
Shame on the school and the district. She has enough to cope with already, and kids do not want to be perceived as ‘different’. I wish her parents would sue the school district.
