[QUOTE="Flo95, post: 1465247, member: 402390"] I had the same thing happen to me today in my final year university exam. First time that I had ever hypo-ed in an exam and I have been type one for 11 years. I was mortified. I had no idea what to do, nor did the invigilators who made me return to my seat and complete the exam without letting me properly treat my hypo. I asked to leave the exam and be isolated until I felt better as it usually takes me around 30 minutes to recover fully and then have extra time to complete the exam which I was denied. I could not concentrate and was so disorientated and I know I have probably now failed my exam and will have to resit. The invigilator I spoke to had no idea what type one diabetes was or what a hypo meant and how much it can affect you. I did everything I usually do to prevent myself hypo-ing during an exam and I guess today I just had a random one at a very inconvenient time. All those months of hard work ruined by a hypo. Feeling very frustrated and disappointed in both myself and the university for not knowing how to deal with the situation. [/QUOTE]
