The California Supreme Court is considering a precedent-setting case to protect the right of schoolchildren with diabetes to receive care from licensed professionals. The court will determine whether other school employees, rather than licensed nurses, should administer insulin in schools to students with diabetes.
This case is critical to ensuring that children with diabetes and other conditions that require health care services to participate in school receive the safe and professional care promised to them by law.
