i dont have a diabetic kid, but from my personal experiences

i was getting up all by myself at the age of 9 with an alarm clock to get up and take my bath and to dress myself before school...

i think they should be able to handle getting up and checking there levels at that age as well... at least i would think so, i also think it would depend on the child and how well they are with other things
