Children in classroom

That’s where a personalized Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP) comes in (find out more here). Before the year begins, meet withyour child’s health care team to develop the plan and then review it with the school principal, teachers, and other school staff. It explains in detail how your child’s unique diabetes should be managed, including:
