SENDAS diabetes education program in Argentina

Overview

The SENDAS program, an Argentine adaptation of the international KiDS (Kids with Diabetes in Schools) initiative, has expanded its reach across various provinces since its implementation in 2019. Managed by the Argentine Diabetes Society (SAD), the program has reached 4,323 students and trained 2,881 teachers across 175 schools.

The initiative provides the educational community with tools to manage type 1 diabetes in school settings. It focuses on addressing critical concerns such as responding to hypoglycemic episodes, insulin administration during school hours, and facilitating participation in physical activities. By educating students, teachers, and families, the program aims to reduce stigma and support the self-care of children living with the condition.
