Parents get type 1 diabetes information

The materials must explain the condition, risk factors, warning signs, screening, and what test results mean. They must recommend asking the student’s primary care provider whether warning signs call for immediate screening. After diagnosis, they must recommend working with that provider on a treatment plan, which may include seeing a specialist. For enactment on or before August 1, 2025, the effective date is August 1 of the first full year after enactment. For enactment after August 1, 2025, the effective date is the following August 1.
