Abstract

The DMMP, prepared and signed by the student’s personal diabetes health care provider(s), contains tailored medical orders for each student. The DMMP is the basis for all of the health care and education plans designed to help the student manage diabetes effectively at school. The DMMP should be in place to ensure that the student’s diabetes health care needs are safely and appropriately met at school. The school nurse uses the DMMP to develop the other health care plans used at school for the student with diabetes: the student’s Individualized Health Care Plan and other education plans (e.g., a Section 504 Plan or Individualized Education Program [IEP]). Although the DMMP is not required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (504), the Americans With Disabilities Act, or the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, for the student with diabetes who is eligible for these additional educational plans, the medical orders contained in the DMMP should be incorporated into these additional educational plans. Information in the DMMP may include:
