The nurse came by my room hunting down a kid, and I told her about my diabetic girl yesterday. She didn’t know about her and was glad I figured it out. So today when d-girl came to class, I called her aside, double checked and took her down to the nurse.
Bad news, she is not being treated for the diabetes. Good news, she has lost weight which should help. I left her with the nurse and am hoping she gets dealt with.
Maybe she’ll learn more. I told her about how I was slurring my speech earlier today in front of the principal and discovered my blood sugar was low — and showed her my 154 after lunch — she said she wished she could get hers that low.
I told her I kept tight rein on it because I felt better under control.
So now I have another mission — and teaching 4 subjects and 2 at a time aren’t enough? I also think my entire 7th period class has ADD.
