School PE

A short PE lesson is its own situation: you do not always need the 'long-session model', but the teacher needs to know where the hypo treats are, who helps and when a snack or measurement is needed.

Assessment before the lesson

  • Is blood sugar safe
  • Is a small snack needed
  • Can the child take part in normal activity
  • Under 4 mmol/l → always have a snack before setting off
