Mumbai schools now allow Class 1-12 students with #T1D to have snacks and medications in examination halls.
Continuous glucose monitoring devices and insulin pumps are also permitted.
A progressive move to ensure the well-being of students with #T1D !
Can we use isotonic gel to correct/avoid #hypo during a sports class or running practice for #T1D. Mostly we carry glucose, on couple of occurances it dropped from 150โก๏ธ to 90โฌ๏ธ on #Libre1 & glucose or juice was not available. Other kids and coach do carry some isotonic gels.
Thx for the efforts of @NCPCR_ & @KanoongoPriyank to make sure #T1D kids get their rights as a protocol not an exception. Currently, whether an invigilation would allow glucometer and FGM reader, is based on how good parents are at at pleading and how well she/he is aware of #T1D
@parthaskar Thank you for sharing it. Please share more such stories. It reinforces hopes, trust in the routine, and inspiration that T1D's will be contributing to society in various forms.
In the last 10 months, we came across 2 #Fiasp cartridges that weren't effective, most probably due to spoilage during the supply chain. There is no way to confirm if insulin is subject to warm temperatures just by looking at it

#T1D tech needs to be available and reliable. Last night started a new reader and a new #FreeStyleLibre 1. After warmup it was showing the false low for an hour. Then all of a sudden it completed the remaining 14 days in just an instant!!.

The 2022 T1International Out-of-Pocket Cost Survey is now live! If you are a person living with type 1 diabetes of a caregiver, we urge you to take the largest survey of its kind to show leaders the scope of the insulin crisis.
Take the survey now: https://t.co/GNi9u1uV2R.
@DianaMIsaacs All such tech must have sustainable and consistent support as well. Here in India #NovoNordisk custom support is pathetic. They don't provide help and guidance even for simple things like needles and their regular pen. After initial customery response they went radio silence.
