Lawsuit: U.S. Army Discriminates Against T1D Kids

from Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes

Many parents of young children with type 1 diabetes have found childcare very difficult to navigate. But rarely are children with type 1 excluded, in writing, from daycare, camp and before and after school programs. That's the case right now, though, in the US Military. An Army policy dictates that T1D kids can't be cared for in those programs. Recently, the American Diabetes Association joined a lawsuit to try and change that. Stacey talks to Sarah Fech-Baughman, the director of litigation for the American Diabetes Association. Find out more about this case, what you can do if you have trouble finding childcare and Sarah's unique connection to type 1.
