Parents of children with Type 1 diabetes have launched a petition against the B.C. government, saying it is failing their children by not providing in-school assistants who are trained to adjust insulin pumps.
Shirley Parsons, the mother of a third grader who requires daily insulin injections, said that the current provincial care plan discriminates against her child's disability.
"As parents, we feel the province is not taking Type 1 diabetes seriously enough," Parsons said.
