Diabetes is not easy when you’re going back to school. A child with diabetes has special needs. Listen to a great interview with dietitian and diabetes educator Jan Kincaid Rystrom, MEd, RD, CDE on 97.3 KIRO FM. She talks about how parents of children with type 1 diabetes can help the child in school, in the classroom and even on the bus. Type 1 diabetes brings challenges and surprising learning and growth opportunities for kids, parents and classmates.
