One point of interest for parents of children with diabetes is in section 6.1.1
In some areas, diabetes management related to insulin monitoring, administration and snack management is supported by the SHSS program through nursing services. In other areas diabetes management is not supported by SHSS because it is considered to be an activity of daily living that does not require nursing supervision by some CCACs. Because educators often report that they do not feel comfortable providing insulin monitoring support for children with stable diabetes, this can be seen as a need for which the SHSS program is not providing sufficient access.
