Providing for diabetes management in schools

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Massachusetts law to allow school nurses or school physicians to delegate the authority to administer glucose monitoring tests and insulin delivery systems to other school personnel or responsible adults in cases where a student is unable to self-administer these tests or systems. It also permits the administration of these tests and systems in classrooms, if the school nurse or school physician, in consultation with the relevant teacher, deems it appropriate.
