[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 1412289, member: 19121"] Having read your question and all the comments so far I would just like to say that no one has asked you how you feel about it? Are you happy that your newly diagnosed son should go away with relative strangers who apparently know little about your sons condition, maybe not even how to treat a hypo efficiently. Is the teacher responsible for his diabetic care whilst at school going on this trip? If you are happy with the situation then yes I think you should fight for Rory's case as he will undoubtedly enjoy himself but if you are harbouring the slightest doubt then I would respectfully suggest that you perhaps consider taking him away somewhere yourselve/s, maybe a short trip to Euro Disney or similar, depending on budget obviously, but somewhere where you can be his sole carer/s. Im not suggesting that you smother him in cotton wool but at his age and newly diagnosed Im not sure that I would feel happy to give my child into the care of someone who so clearly doesnt want that responsibility and there will be more opportunities for school trips when he is a little older and better acquainted with his own condition and when you may feel happier about it. Its always good idea to consider your options. [/QUOTE]
