NJ Governor Corzine signed the school diabetes care bill into law.  This bill will ensure that students can independently manage their diabetes with the permission of their parent and clinician, and that staff can be trained to administer glucagon for severe hypoglycemia in the event that a school nurse is not present to do so.  The law becomes effective on January 29, 2010 (120 days from yesterdays enactment).  If you are interested in the text of the bill, it can be found at this link.
