Every parent wants their child to feel safe, included and confident at school. For parents of kids with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) — an autoimmune condition in which the pancreas stops producing insulin — that hope comes with an extra layer of worry. In Alberta, there is no consistent standard of care for how schools support students living with this chronic condition.

Unlike provinces such as British Columbia and Nova Scotia, Alberta families are left to navigate a patchwork system, relying on goodwill and initiative rather than shared expectations. This means every family is left to figure it out on their own — one principal, one teacher, one classroom at a time.
