School families get new diabetes information

Tennessee’s Department of Education, working with the Department of Health, must post a free downloadable guide by July 31, 2025. Beginning August 1, 2025, school districts and public charter schools must include it when sharing health information with K-12 parents or guardians. This applies to information about immunizations, infectious diseases, medications, or other school health issues. The guide must explain Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, risk factors, warning signs, screening, and why Type 1 stages matter. It must recommend asking the student’s primary care provider whether warning signs call for immediate diabetes screening. After a diagnosis, it must recommend consulting that provider about a treatment plan. These are recommendations, not new duties for families.
