[QUOTE="lunuka, post: 1361865, member: 236767"] It's on your phone so you won't be able to have it in the room. Do you not have the libre meter or even a spare BM meter to take in with you? I did 5 years of university exams and never had an issue. You need to declare that you have a medical condition. Of course hypos aren't nice and leaving the room is embarrassing but if you'd passed out, what would the invigilators be able to do if they don't know you're diabetic. I always carry my phone with the app, the libre monitor (which I've told colleagues how to use) and the BM meter just in case technology fails me. (Edited out the nhs bit. Forgot this was diabetes UK and we all have it. I have just had a hypo myself so that's my excuse ) [/QUOTE]
