Map of the school This shows a highlighted route from the main student entrance to the medical room. It also shows the entrance to the dinner hall. We thought you would find this useful; there are lots of people around to ask for directions too ROUTE TO MEDICAL ROOM DINNER HALL ENTRANCE Mrs Colman is th e fi aid coordinator, rst she is based in the me d room. She will ke ical ep your equipment and h ypo supplies safe an d support you whe never you need her. This is a private room available so you can test your blood glucose and do your insulin injections. You go here for support when you are having a hypo or hyper. Mrs Colman If Mrs Colman is not available the key to the medical room is at the main office. page 2 r the school. ttered all ove Toilets are sca YOUR NAME AND CLASS DIABETIC 2013/14 Please allow me to eat in class. Please allow me to go to toilet if needed the. (SEND ACCO MPANIED) page 3 You CAN use the toilets during lessons b y using your medical pa ss.

3 Medical pass This allows you to go to the medical room or toilet at any time! Just show your pass to the teacher. It also lets you skip to the front of the lunch line Whilst in school Lunch time You CAN still eat your lunch with your friends! You need to check your blood glucose levels before lunch. Some people give their insulin before lunch but if you have school dinners and carb count you can check your levels before lunch and give your insulin after you have eaten. Hospital appointments If you have a hospital appointment in school time just go to main office and sign out. P.E. You may need a snack before P.E. or to check your blood glucose levels. If you choose to check your blood glucose regularly before P.E. you must have a blood ketone meter in school ask Kelly or Alison your diabetes nurses about this Hypo-box Your emergency supplies to be used in the event of a hypo. Make sure your hypo-box is ALWAYS full Medical kit Ideas for your hypo-box You will also have a diabetes school care plan in the medical room. Kelly and Alison will send a copy to school and one to you and your parents. This helps school staff support us in the management of our diabetes when needed. It contains information on hypos, hypers, illness, exams, school trips etc page 4 page 5

4 We can help... Ok then... can I go on school trips? Yes, no problem just be prepared and make sure that all the staff on the trip know you have diabetes. What if I have a problem in school? There are lots of people to help, Mrs Colman, Kelly and Alison, your diabetes nurses, your head of year and your parents everyone can work together to help you. So... can I meet other people in school who have diabetes too???? Yes of course, we would be happy to meet you, we can just say Hi, or have a chat or show you around school Ask Kelly, Alison or Mrs Colman. What about my attendance rate if I m always at hospital appointments? Your hospital appointments are really important and they will be marked as an authorised absence which is ok. But you could try to arrange appointment before or after school or make sure you are in school for registrations when possible. page 6 Mrs Colman, First-Aid Coordinator, Laurence Jackson School, Church Lane, Guisborough, Redcar and Cleveland TS14 6RD Telephone: Diabetes Team at The James Cook University Hospital: Diabetes nurses: Kelly Rowe and Alison Murray Telephone: hour support: Paediatric Day Unit Telephone: Ward 21 Telephone: Please speak to one of the team for help or advice, we are always happy to listen. page 7 Contacts
