Schools are still pushing back on CGM. How you can help the legal fight for change

Earlier this year, it looked like a big win for parents of kids with diabetes when the DOJ ruled that CGM can be considered standard of care.  Unfortunately, the lawyers fighting for families in this case tell me it’s not that simple, the Dept of Justice ruling may have to be litigated on the local levels across the country. They’re back to talk to me about what happened, what you need to know, and how you can make your issue known, if your child’s school is giving you a hard time about continuous glucose monitoring.

Our guests this week are Bonnie Roswig, an attorney with a small non profit legal center for children’s advocacy focuses on addressing legal needs of vulnerable children and Jonathan Chapel was diagnosed with type 1 as an adult in 1999. He's a private practice lawyer in CT and is a past president of his local JDRF chapter.
