I should hope not! Not that a diabetic should be singled out, but in this day and age when adults are forced to go to the pharmasist for the over the counter cold medicine that can not be left on the shelves anymore, I can see this. (Banging head on screen) What do you think the % of inflicted kids per school is? At best, 1%? Couldn't the School Boards ask that each student with the need for testing supplies/insulin, meet with the nurse and each teacher involved in the students schedule, at the beginning of the school year?

NOT about the kids suing but about the school NOT letting them be monitored and administered appropriately. I sure am glad we live where we live. My daughter came home one day explaining to me about diabetes and she told me that she had a classmate in school with diabetes and the administration sad everyone down in her class and explained to them exactly what that meant and that the little girl was not "contageous" and all that. It was nice of them to do so. Dang, that is just sad. NOT about the kids suing but about the school NOT letting them be monitored and administered appropriately. I sure am glad we live where we live.
