Electronic devices at school

      For students with diabetes, a phone or smartwatch is more than a gadget—it’s a lifeline. The rights of students with diabetes are protected by federal and state laws. Electronic devices are vital to the management of diabetes for students who utilize mobile applications to monitor and share medical information with other members of their care team. Confiscating or limiting the use of such devices would create a significant health risk.

      Make sure your school supports safe and fair policies. Learn how to advocate at bit.ly/3SnHpiL.
