The bill proposes an amendment to Chapter 16-21 of the General Laws, specifically adding a new section that mandates training for all school employees on the basics of diabetes care. This training is to ensure that employees can identify when a student with diabetes requires immediate or emergency medical attention and know whom to contact in such situations. Additionally, the bill specifies that delegated care aides receive training to assist students with diabetes according to their individual diabetes care plans. This includes tasks such as checking blood glucose levels, recognizing and responding to symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, estimating carbohydrate content in meals, administering insulin, and responding to emergencies, including administering glucagon and calling 911.

The bill also outlines that initial training for delegated care aides should be provided by a licensed healthcare provider with expertise in diabetes or a certified diabetic educator, and be consistent with guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Training should be updated annually or when a student's diabetes care plan is amended. The bill allows schools to maintain a supply of glucagon for emergencies, prescribes the maintenance of this supply, and details the protocol for its administration. It defines "delegated care aide" and "diabetes care plan" for clarity. The act would take effect immediately upon passage. There are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the text provided.
