Diabetic emergency Mission DART: Diabetes Action Response Team Every attempt will be made to provide a substitute nurse DVUSD believes that the best person to supervise and manage the care of a student with diabetes is a licensed nurse There may be times when the nurse is not immediately available and that is why we have a Diabetic Action and Response Team (DART). Members of DART are non-medical personnel who have received training in emergency diabetic tasks so that at least two staff members are always available to provide emergency assistance. Non-medical staff do not administer insulin Parent will designate in writing a capable adult family member who will assume responsibility for insulin administration in the absence of the school nurse In the absence of the school nurse Diabetes management is a 24 hours a day, 7 days per week job. All people with Type I and Type II Diabetes must carefully balance food, medications, and activity level to keep blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible.
