I don't know the age specifics so my guess is students of a certain age are allowed to administer it to themselves. One of my concerns with this law is that it might actually keep students from disclosing the fact that they are diabetic so that they have more personal control. I know that that's what I would have done if this law had passed when I was in school.<br /><br />Re. my first interview: I waited til I was hired, then informed my boss. I've always done it that way because I know that once a contract is signed or an agreement is reached, the employer has agreed to hire me based on my merit and not my blood sugar. It hasn't been an issue to date. :)miss J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14873603551426378235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443332036220779420.post-47877882334286878742010-07-28T23:02:59.875-07:002010-07-28T23:02:59.875-07:00Am I understanding you right: that type 1 diabetic...Am I understanding you right: that type 1 diabetics in California schools are NOT ALLOWED to give themselves their required insulin dose because they might mess it up? <br /><br />As a diabetic for more than 20 years, I mess up my dose all the time. It's how you learn. It's also an INESCAPABLE fact of this grueling disease. But we make do, every day, all the time. We have to.<br /><br />Also, Julia, what happened at your first interview -- did you tell them about your insulin pump? How did you handle that? There's more to this story that I'd love to hear!<br />Thanks, LeanneL.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08555817874899729892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443332036220779420.post-25534898506237118862010-07-28T19:21:16.855-07:002010-07-28T19:21:16.855-07:00OH MY GOODNESS, this is awesome.
