[QUOTE="Deborah Boye, post: 1412758, member: 207069"] My daughter has just gone on a five day trip to blairvadach. She was do looking forward to it and absolutely loved it. Her school has been amazing with her type 1 diabetes. Very supportive, and we're really keen for her to go. Not just because she would miss out,(why should she miss out on any experiences in life), but because it would do wonders for her confidence and independence for going onto secondary school. We asked one of the Diabetic team to gone into a meeting in school with the teacher and first aider, who were both going, and myself. On the weeks leading up to the trip we wrote down any questions we had. The meeting answered all the questions we had thought of, and other things we hadn't even thought of. The Diabetic nurse basically said to keep her running high while she was away, and keep snacks and Lucozade tablets everywhere she went. Blairvadach does trips specifically for children with diabetes, so that helped. Your boy should definitely go, and for them to suggest otherwise and make him feel different is a disgrace. It's their job to make you feel happy and confident that your boy is safe in their care. I hope you get this sorted. My daughters been diagnosed just over a year. Good luck x [/QUOTE]
