| I am a school nurse at an elementary school. I have 2 students in kindergarten with diabetes. They have started checking their own bgs recently and we do explain the results and what needs to be done for the results if anything. He does need to learn this early on so that when he goes on to elementary school next year he may have some idea of what he needs to know and do. Their little brains do pick up on this and they learn quick.
Also, the most of the other parents know that there are 2 diabetics in the class and when there is a party most of the time they are really good at bringing in food with lower carbs or know the carb counts for boluses.
