I see the pathetic fat bashers are out today. Find something more constructive to do with your life than criticize the overweight. Unless of course you want the rest of the world to know you never matured past middle school!

Heck, we can't get the teachers and administrators to teach, and now they have to be nurses? I wouldn't want my child to be treated by a teacher or even a school nurse. They have no more skill than a medical assistant who went to Devry. If this is considered a disability by the ADA, then these kids should be put in a school with other kids who have "special needs". This way they are taken care of by people who are trained in this area, just like mental illness, physical disabilities, etc.

Here's my ruling: Did the Dr. say that you as a parent made your child Fatty Cakes Ramirez by feeding them McD's four times a day? Then haul your diabetes ridden carcass up to the school and give your child their treatment....If your child has the Type 1 AF speaks of, then State School Nursing guidelines will mandate that situation.

The public schools that I attended would have looked at the state guidelines, taught all the educators in the school, and welcomed the diabetics to the classrooms. They would have also used the opportunity to teach the students about diabetes, what to do, and how to treat.

@ey mang - what about Type 1 diabetes (not caused by obesity and lifestyle choices)?

Diabetes should be a disability only if you are not obese. I don't think there is such a thing as Diabetes discrimination if it's treatable.
