After we announced at the July District meeting the District’s project this year to assist our local schools with diabetes-related supplies, we received a number of questions regarding the process. Here are some examples. The Cleburne club has done this for several years, and reached out to the head nurse at the ISD’s high school.  Currently, they get requests at the beginning of each school semester for supplies needed. This includes both snacks and non-prescription items such as ketone strips for testing blood sugar. The school may suggest types of snacks, but the purpose is generally to raise low blood sugars quickly, so they should be juice boxes, candy, or other high sugar items. For the Colleyville club, I have reached out to the head nurse in the ISD, and will be meeting with the school nurses at their monthly meeting in September to describe the project and get interest. Because we share a school district with the Grapevine club, we will try to service the schools in our respective cities.


Please note that this project should not be a one-and-done project; once begun, the clubs should be prepared to continue with it for years.  


Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
