In addition, we would like you or your child s physician to provide us with: Last month s blood glucose readings; three month A1C levels; and, if possible, readings from any period of time when the student may have been experiencing an activity level similar to the Ashokan Program; Any changes to the schedule, housing or meal options which you feel may be needed for the well-being of your child (i.e., protein at specific meals, timing of hikes/activities relative to meals, etc.); Your child s activity level, on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = couch potato, 5 = very active); Orders from your physician specific to this trip (see attached information sheet); and Any other information you feel will help us design the best experience possible for your child. We will contact you after reviewing this information with any follow-up questions or requests. We invite you to send an adult free of charge to monitor your child and help to provide any support he/she may need. In any event, if during the trip your child s blood sugar becomes unstable (fluctuates outside the target range indicated by your physician), he/she may remain at Ashokan only if accompanied by a parent or other designated adult familiar with your child s condition.
