• The Truth about Insulin and Type 2 Diabetes
  Most people associate taking insulin with type 1 diabetes. However, some people with type 2 diabetes also need to take insulin. We talked with Andrea Penney, RN, CDE, Joslin Diabetes Center, to find out the truth about insulin and type 2 diabetes.
  
• Diabetes at School
  Parents of children with diabetes often need to educate school personnel about the care and services their children need in school and day care settings.
  
  The Pediatric staff at Joslin Diabetes Center offers tips for a Classroom Presentation on Diabetes for Elementary School Age Children, plus a Diabetes Information for School Personnel form, developed especially for collecting the information that needs to go to school with your child.
