A snippet:

For thousands of Utah children with diabetes, the possibility of a low blood-sugar emergency is a constant threat - even at school. But current law prevents school workers from administering glucagon to save children from serious health consequences, or even death.

A bill allowing school personnel to administer glucagon after voluntary training received a positive recommendation Tuesday from the Senate Education Committee and will proceed to the Senate floor. Sen. Patrice Arent, D-Murray, is the sponsor.

The bill allows students to bring diabetes medication to school and self-administer it if their parents and health-care providers give permission. In emergencies, it allows trained school personnel to administer glucagon.

You mean there was a time when I wouldn't have been able to inject my own insulin at school?? LOL. I guess things have changed since then, I had no idea all these rules and regulations existed now! Back then, I didn't have a strict testing/dosing schedule (just lunch) so didn't run into any problems. There wasn't even a school nurse, so I tested and injected in my counselor's office who didn't know what the **** I was doing. And they definitely didn't have a glucagon kit anywhere!
