Diabetes Awareness Day/Children In Need- Wear something blue or spotty

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Friday 13th November, our school will be supporting World Diabetes Day, which takes
place on Saturday 14th November, to help raise awareness of type 1 diabetes.

We are inviting all children to wear something blue to school on Friday 13th November to
show their support. This could be a blue T-shirt, jumper, socks, hair accessory or any other
blue item. There is no need to buy anything new, and children are welcome to wear their
usual school uniform if they prefer.

We would also like to raise awareness of the 4Ts of type 1 diabetes, which are important
signs to look out for in children:
• Toilet – Going to the toilet more often.
• Thirsty – Being much thirstier than usual.
• Tired – Feeling very tired or lacking energy.
• Thinner – Losing weight without trying.

Recognising these signs early can save lives, so sharing this information with families is
incredibly important.

Thank you for supporting our awareness day and helping us spread this important message.
Let's wear blue and help raise awareness.
Kind regards,
TAB Infant
