Ask Me Anything > Lows at School
Hi Laura!
It depends on how low... She was 61 the other day but it was three hours after insulin, so she drank a juice and we spoke again in ten minutes - we didn't tell the teacher. If that 61 was in a different situation I would have asked Arden to tell the teacher.
Arden also has a few fast acting foods in pre-measured bags that she can grab. The class has a snack time each day at 9:45.
Hope this helps! Anything else?
Best,

Hey Scott,
Thanks for the quick reply! I found your blog a few weeks ago and now I have started thinking that maybe your system would work for us! My son Jackson is eight and I feel like he has missed a lot of class time already this school year. Anything else I should know about your guys system? Thank you for blogging Arden's story it has helped me a lot.

Laura - I think that the best bit of information I could pass along is... I didn't know what I was doing when I started either. I just kept applying what I knew about Arden to the new plan and it turns out that there is no difference between managing at home and via text. I guess that's not totally true, there is one difference. When they are with you, there's a false sense of security :)
You are going to be great! Please let me know what you decide and how it goes.
Best,

Scott,
I have a question about how Arden handles her lows at school. I know that she tests in the classroom and let's you know the results but does she let the teacher know the results or just start drinking juice/eating? Also does she always use juice or does she ever eat different snacks? My last question is does she have any scheduled snacks she eats in the classroom?
Thanks,
Laura
