Legislation that would require Kentucky schools to have personnel trained in diabetes management is headed to the House floor. There were some questions raised in committee Thursday about the measure. Western Kentucky representative Ben Waide asked about diabetes training slippage.
?If you?re just a little bit off on calculating those carbs, if you?re just a little bit off on calculating that insulin, you can do great harm. So, the person who?s trained in August, and this doesn?t come up until April, and suddenly they?re going oh, smack, what was I trained in, what in August, what am I supposed to do,? said Waide.
