I also feel she should be given the chance to learn to manage on her own, along with monitoring from the school nurse and of course her parents. They are never too young to learn. I just saw on TV, a 4 year old boy knew exactly what to do when his mother fell into a diabetic coma at home. They started working with him at the age of 2. This is going to be with her for the rest of her life and the sooner she does learn, the more she will be able to accept this.
