Comprehensive Diabetes Education for School Nurses: Part 2

This two-part diabetes education program is designed to equip school nurses with the knowledge and practical skills needed to support students living with diabetes in the school setting.

The curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of diabetes management, including the use of diabetes technology, approaches to pattern management, and key psychosocial considerations that impact students’ daily experiences and self-care.

The content is informed in part by the Diabetes Essentials for Nurses program and is further strengthened by integration of the American Diabetes Association’s 2026 recommendations for children and adolescents with diabetes, ensuring alignment with current standards of care.

This program is intended to support school nurses who play a critical role in maintaining student safety and well-being, and who are seeking additional guidance, confidence, and practical tools to manage diabetes effectively within the school environment.

Please note that continuing education units (CEUs) are not currently offered for this program.
