[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 1360045, member: 352098"] Not being able to test your BS during in an exam puts you at a big disadvantage and is potentially dangerous. I agree with Coopsman. You should have raised this with your school/university authorities in advance and suggested that one of the exam supervisors take charge of it until either you need it or the exam is over. The staff member can stand by and observe what you are doing when you use the meter. You can show it to the powers that be and demonstrate what it does for them days before the exam is timetabled. You should discuss this with your personal tutor. It is unlikely you are the first type 1 diabetic the place has ever encountered. Explain what a hypo does to you and educate them if the particular staff member you are speaking to has never come across a student with type 1 before. You need to sort this out before you have another exam - just in case ! [/QUOTE]
