Champaign school district nurse Valerie Day helps Elizabeth Roadcap, 8, with an insulin shot Dec. 11 at South Side School in Champaign.
CHAMPAIGN – After Elizabeth Roadcap was diagnosed with diabetes in May, her mom, Janet, was at South Side Elementary School at least twice a day, checking her daughter's blood sugar and giving her an insulin shot.
This school year, her mom doesn't need to be there every day to make sure she is OK. The school district's nurse, Valerie Day, meets with 8-year-old Elizabeth outside her second-grade classroom at lunchtime to give her the insulin.
