Education Workers
Diabetes Care Plus is here to support educators working with children living with diabetes. By enrolling in our one-day program, we will help you to feel more confident in managing this complex condition.
The Diabetes Day for Educators is a full day, in- person program designed to give educators the confidence to safely support children/students living with type 1 diabetes at their centres and schools.
Information covered during the day will help educators learn how to implement the child/students Diabetes Action and Management Plan.
The program is best suited for staff that do not require insulin or glucagon administration training.
Topics that will be covered on the day:
- What is diabetes
- How to support a child with type 1 diabetes at your centre/school
- How to implement the child/students Diabetes Action and Management Plan
- Food and diabetes
- Glucose monitoring
- Low and high glucose levels
- Insulin
- Being active
- Excursion and camp planning
- Communication
Insulin and glucagon administration training is not covered during this education day. If this training is required, it is best discussed directly with the student’s/child’s diabetes treating team.
Who is this program for?
- Early learning educators – childcare and kindergartens
- Before and after school care (OSHC) educators
- School educators – primary & secondary
- School Holiday program educators
- Camp provider staff
Is this part of the NDSS Diabetes in Schools program?
No this is not. The Diabetes Day for Educators is the revival of our previous program Diabetes At Schools. We have received many requests from the Victorian educator community to revive this program as they wanted an in-person program for support and to ask questions.
The Diabetes Day for Educators, is a one-day in-person program dedicated to supporting all organisations that work with children living with diabetes. Being an in-person program means you have your questions answered on the day by paediatric diabetes specialists, diabetes nurse educators and dietitians.
