Healthy schools, healthy futures: the KiDS programme in global diabetes education
“According to the latest edition of the IDF Diabetes Atlas, over 9.5 million people were living with type 1 diabetes in 2024, including approximately 1.9 million children and adolescents under the age of 20. In addition, there is an increase in type 2 diabetes among children and adolescents. This is primarily due to the concerning global rise in childhood obesity. “
“Schools are an optimal environment for shaping lifelong behaviours, and school staff, as frontline educators, are uniquely positioned to support students living with diabetes and promote healthy habits.
On World Teachers’ Day 2025, this webinar will celebrate the fundamental role of teachers and school staff in supporting students’ health and well-being. The exchange will showcase how the KiDS programme is driving diabetes education in schools worldwide.
The Kids and Diabetes in Schools (KiDS) programme aims to bring diabetes education to schools to combat diabetes-related stigma and to promote healthy lifestyles to prevent type 2 diabetes risk factors. These aims align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. In the last decade, the KiDS programme has been implemented in 23 countries, reaching over one million students.” idf.org

CGM is a legal “reasonable accommodation.” Why are many schools still fighting it?
