Here in Delaware daycares and preschools are not allowed to give insulin (shots or pumps) but they can check sugar. This law seems to vary state by state. I'd like to get this changed for my state but I don't really know where to start. I called 2 state reps last week but have not heard back. I also got the office of child care licensing to give me their policy in writing. Any guidance as to where I should go next?

I wish I had any info that would help. I run a small in-home child care in Missouri that specializes in T1 children. I hope you can get more information

Good afternoon and Happy Friday - I think you should reach out to your local JDRF in the area and they might be able to help.

Regards,
