I have actually been very concerned to find that at so many schools kids are required to go to the nurse's office to test. The thought of a child who is already low tottering down the hall to the nurse would REALLY make me anxious! My son was taught from day one, if in doubt treat first, then test, and we were taught that a kids having a low should never be left alone.

It seems to me a compromise position might be possible, if not now then when she's a little older. If she feels low, your daughter could test and if she is ACTUALLY low (that's an easy thing to teach: below xx), she could eat the number of glucose tabs you prescribe, with the teacher's supervision if you prefer. She could then go to the nurse for follow up/call home if you feel that's important. If she's not technically low, but feels low, she could go to the nurse for advice.
