Medical needs with no nursing medical background

I am currently a teaching assistant at a local primary school, have worked in my current role since 2017. Job role is literally a general teaching assistant, nothing extra. A new child has started at the school and has diabetes. She needs to pin prick her finger daily and has injections. She is also SEN so cannot do so independently, an adult has to administer the needles, take the blood etc. I have been 'told' - not asked, I am to be her 1:1 and tend to her medical needs. I have had no nursing experience, and am extremely uncomfortable with this. Firstly, I wasn't actually asked if I am confident and at ease with this, was just told blasé I would get training and get on with it. Simple fact is, no, I'm not going to do it. I'll take it all the way with meetings etc I don't care, I am uneasy, anxious and upset and will not be forced in to doing so. AIBU?

YABU for sure. What a stinking attitude.
