[QUOTE="tigger, post: 1361427, member: 11023"] Hi [USER=338121]@EllsKBells[/USER] good luck with this. When you say you have to prove you're diabetic are you with a hospital clinic? Ask your consultant to write a letter saying you have type 1. I also don't understand the GP. Did you not have previous records from a GP and a prescription which would have had all the details necessary? When I was in university (18 years ago....) I did try registering at a local GP but found it too hard to manage prescriptions in the holidays so switched back to my home one. I also briefly tried out the local hospital as I fancied a change of consultant and it was a very good one but decided the commute would be too much once I moved back to London. I have never informed any examiner that I have type 1. I just used to take cereal bars and glucose sweets in my pockets for use in emergency. I have good hypo awareness and would have a little snack part way through as much as a calming mechanism as anything else. In terms of conveying the message of hypos why not just take print outs from reputable sites on hypo effects? The NHS has some pages and so does this site. [/QUOTE]
