S<\/strong>hare – information about your student\u2019s ketogenic therapy (modified Atkins, Low Glycemic therapy) with everyone that will be involved with their care while at school.\u00a0 While teachers and school nurses are a great place to start, don\u2019t forget all others who may be in contact with your child such as the bus driver, the Principal and cafeteria staff.
