School awareness and screening Advocacy
Raising awareness about diabetes in schools is essential to create a supportive environment for students living with the condition. Awareness programs help teachers, classmates, and staff understand what diabetes is, how it affects children, and the importance of timely support in case of emergencies such as hypoglycemia. They also promote healthy lifestyle habits—balanced diets, regular physical activity, and reduced stigma—benefiting the whole school community. By involving students, parents, and teachers in awareness activities, schools become safer, more inclusive spaces where children with diabetes can learn and thrive without discrimination or fear.
