Another thing that bothers me is that there was no mention of the implications of her diabetes. Diabetes in children is often more severe than the "old age" diabetes. If a child with diabetes is passed out during the day the first reaction should be to try to wake her up and check for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). If left untreated this could lead to coma and even death. The school should educate the employees on how to deal with this and make special arrangements for such a child, like being allowed to eat at any time.
If she is a type I diabetic, then why was she not wearing a medic alert bracelet or necklace saying she is diabetic?
If she did have a bracelet on, then yes, administration was wrong in their actions.
Further, don't most type I diabetics wear an insulin pump?
