The aim of this task was to learn about the teachers ability of helping the pupil who fell into a diabetic coma or who has a more common complication connected to this disease. The questionnaire replies showed that teachers would welcome a short information handbook with reference to the actual situation of a diabetic pupil in the class. On the basis of these requests the handbook was written. It explains teachers the everyday reality that the diabetic child has to cope with. The aim of the information is to get teachers know how to react to possible urgent complications and how to involve the child in school activities. |
