Schools Join In Fight Against Diabetes
The best place for your child is home. But school is rising quickly towards second place, even for diabetic students.

"We are so on top of this," Kate Doughty, an education technician who monitors the little girl, said Thursday after helping Alayna test herself. "We test [her blood sugars] four times a day, and she's very good at telling us when she feels off."
