There is no family history of diabetes, consequently Errol and his parents have limited knowledge of the condition. Errol does not like having his BM checked or his insulin administered; he is also getting increasingly distressed by the fact that he is being ‘denied’ some of his favourite foods. 

Errol currently attends a Special needs school. The school and his parents have been working together to try to increase Errol’s independence and plan for his transition from childhood to adulthood. 

Please consider how the inter-professional team can work together in order to maximise the ongoing support Errol and his family are likely to require on discharge.
