Reminder: Type-1 Diabetes Care and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Looping

A new method for managing type-1 diabetes called ‘do-it-yourself (DIY) looping’ has been appearing in schools. DIY looping is not Health Canada approved and is not supported by Nursing Support Services (NSS). If a student chooses to use DIY looping during school hours, they will not have an NSS delegated plan and should be fully independent in their diabetes care. More information about diabetes care and DIY looping can be found in the DIY looping FAQs and on the Government of BC Diabetes web page.
