A section of teachers in government, aided, and unaided schools in Kozhikode district are now being trained to take care of students suffering from Type 1 diabetes, often referred to as juvenile diabetes, a chronic condition affecting children and adolescents.
The project, titled GLYZIMA, is being implemented by the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET).
According to U.K. Abdunnasar, principal, DIET, Type 1 diabetes requires careful management of blood sugar levels, insulin administration, and lifestyle adjustments. Children diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes face unique challenges, including the need for continuous monitoring and adherence to a strict regimen to ensure their health and well-being. It is imperative to create a supportive and informed ecosystem to address their specific needs, he said.
