If not appropriately managed, T1D can drastically affect a student’s ability to experience academic success. Diabetes Canada, formerly known as the Canadian Diabetes Association, has a set of guidelines that they recommend each school board incorporate into their policies for the management of T1D. The authors analyzed 15 Ontario Catholic school boards’ policies pertaining to T1D to determine if these policies address Diabetes Canada’s guidelines. Out of the 15 school boards analyzed, only four had a T1D policy. A policy analysis was then conducted on the four policies to determine whether they met the guidelines set out by Diabetes Canada. The four policies were found to be lacking in the areas of staff education regarding T1D and assisting students during hypoglycemic episodes. It is recommended that a standardized Ministry policy be developed that addresses the guidelines outlined by Diabetes Canada.  \nKeywords: Type 1 Diabetes, Catholic School Board, Policy Analysis, Guidelines  \nWith the incidence of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) increasing rapidly world-wide, 1 in 300 children have diabetes, making it one of the most common chronic illnesses affecting school age children (Amillategui, Mora, Calle, & Giralt, 2009; Kelo, Martikainen, & Eriksson, 2011; Kucera & Sullivan, 2011; Lawrence, Cummings, Pacaud, Lynk, & Metzger, 2015). T1D is “an autoimmune condition in which the pancreas does not produce the necessary insulin to break down glucose in the bloodstream to convert into energy”(Kucera & Sullivan, 2011, p. 587). T1D normally develops in the pediatric age range and is managed through diet, activity, blood glucose monitoring, and the administration of insulin (Lawrence et al., 2015; Kucera & Sullivan, 2011). Even when individuals properly treat their T1D, they may still experience episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) causing an individual to feel shaky, lightheaded, sweaty, drowsy, confused, irritable, and in severe cases, lose consciousness, or have a seizure (Lawrence et al., 2015). Most individuals with T1D can live a relatively normal and healthy life, but if left untreated or improperly managed, T1D can lead to complications such as learning deficits, eye damage or blindness, nerve damage, amputation, kidney failure, stroke, and heart attack (Lawrence et al., 2015). Within Canada, and even within schools that share the same jurisdiction, there is a lack of consistent support for students with T1D and discrepancies in T1D resources and policies (Lawrence et al., 2015). To determine whether Ontario schools are prepared to address the needs of students who have T1D the current study examined fifteen Ontario Catholic School Boards’policies pertaining to T1D and compared the policies with the Guidelines for the Care of Students Living with Diabetes at School as outlined by Diabetes Canada.  \nHypoglycemia is one of the most common and acute complications of insulin therapy, causing“headaches, shakiness, nervousness, sweating, irritability, confusion, sleepiness and fatigue, weakness,  \ndizziness, and dangerous neuroglycopenia. In the most extreme cases, seizures, loss of consciousness, and death may occur”(Driscoll, Raymond, Naranjo, & Patton, 2016, p. 1). The onset of hypoglycemia can occur suddenly and have an immediate effect on a student’s concentration, thought processing, and behaviour (Lawrence et al., 2015). A lack of awareness of hypoglycemia warning signs may lead to a delay in treatment.
