Standardizing Diabetes Care in Colorado Schools: Nearly Two Decades of Success

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Since 2005, a group of stakeholders in Colorado has collaborated to improve diabetes management in schools and childcare centers by standardizing care and embedding local expertise to support school personnel in this task. This effort has included the development of toolkits for parents, school nurses, and other health care providers; the establishment of a diabetes resource nurses program; and annually updated guidelines titled Standards of Care for Diabetes Management in the School Setting & Licensed Child Care Facilities. This collaboration has fundamentally changed how school nurses and staff in Colorado care for students with diabetes.
