It's been 8 years since our now 10 year old son was diagnosed with T1D. Pre-Covid he was in school (in the USA.) Only one potentially serious incident when the staff accidentally gave him 2X the insulin he was supposed to receive for lunch (this was when he was on a lousy Medtronic pump/CGM combo.) Fortunately the staff realized their mistake and called us immediately. We live a few minutes from the school and so a crisis was averted with a stack of glucose tabs before his blood sugar dropped dangerously low.

We've homeschooled him since Covid (he has no desire to go back and socializes with other kids outside of school.) He's now on a Dexcom / Tandem pump + iPhone mini (for transmitting Dexcom blood sugar levels). We have three SugarPixels (https://customtypeone.com/products/sugarpixel) - one for our bedroom, one in the kitchen and one in my office. A game-changer for us was the free app called SugarMate. It integrates with Dexcom and will call you with an automated message when blood sugar level goes below a specified threshold. This helped us sleep through the night knowing if his blood glucose level went dangerously low we would be woken up by the automated phone call.
