We are celebrating the newest inductees to @CWOFame for the discovery of insulin. Dr. Best recognized the need for an org. to advocate for & support Canadians w/ diabetes. He was behind the Diabetic Association of Ontario in the 40’s which led to DC today. https://t.co/3f6wKac6nO

Unacceptable and yet happening all over ONTARIO. Disconnect between #Health and #Education. All children have a right to be in school. #Disability #Accommodation #diabetes #onpoli @DiabetesCanada @JDRF_Canada @CanPaedSociety @ONTSpecialNeeds @CityNews

A Hamilton father says his daughter's education is suffering because the school board and province cannot sort out a months-long school nurse shortage across Ontario.

@celliottability @ONThealth @fordnation @JimMcDonell Many #T1D kids are NOT in school today due to RN shortages. Many would be if they had #CGM4all ! #healthcare #ontario #diabetes #SchoolsReopen

Some parents of medically fragile children say they are frustrated because a nursing shortage in Ontario means their children will not be able to attend school in person this fall.

The patchwork of provincial and school board policies to keep kids with #T1D or other medical conditions safe at school across 🇨🇦Canada is appaling. The country celebrating 100 years since the discovery of insulin can and must do better.
Young children with type 1 #diabetes need help to give insulin: @nshealth and @nseducation, see @CanPaedSociety recommendations on managing #T1D at school, and https://t.co/ZA6EHgMx1z

What an awful story. ☹️ This 5yo is going w/o insulin at lunch & spending afternoons at 15-20 mmol/L (270-360 mg/dl) because the school isn’t required to have anyone to help inject. I know a mom in SK who had to quit her job to go give insulin every lunch.

Schools📚should stay open even if there's a 3rd wave of #COVID19, experts say. Doctors say benefit and necessity of education outweigh risk to kids https://t.co/5yj1ws5afe via @cbcnews @kwadwo777 #onpoli

A third wave of COVID-19 in Ontario may be inevitable, but this time around many experts say the province’s schools should stay open.

Enhanced safety measures are well in place to keep schools safe. We will continue to follow the expert advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health. #StrongerTogether

Absolutely all the studies are pointing to same thing. Scotland and UK experience agrees with our prospective study here. 3+ times increased risk in #T1D.
People with diabetes are more likely to die if we get COVID and we should be prioritized for vaccine rollout

Like so many, I’m working from home while supporting 3 kids who are doing remote learning. I’m a single mother. My 5-year-old can’t do this alone. My 12-year-old needs a chrome book. My 15-year-old needs extra math help. It’s only 10am. It’s going to be a long week.😳

Parents of #T1D! Did you see this letter to Ontario’s parents from the Minister of Education? How is your family navigating the 2020-21 school year thus far? All replies are correct. No wrong answers here.

#MindfulMonday. Accept your thoughts/feelings as they arise in response to daily stressors rather than trying to get rid of them or judging yourself for having them. Acceptance of your inner experience can be learned, practiced and can help you adapt. #mindfulness
