Heeeeeey!
It's been a while since I have actually been on the forum so I thought I'd have a little browse. As a student studying A levels my exams have started this week and I've already had one (Sociology - Education & Research Methods) which went brilliantly well and I was happy with the questions on the paper. My blood sugar levels were neutral throughout - I thought they were either going to go really high or really low so it was a relief that they didn't.
The one thing that left me a bit confused and amused (I rhymed looool) was the exam invigilator had come up to me and stopped me mid way through doing my exam paper and asked me what was in the small black bag (the case which held my testing kit) and then began to unzip it and nose through it which although I see why, think it was unnecessary, They were made aware that I was diabetic and that I would have my kit and hypo treatments on my desk in the case of a hypo. I don't see why he felt the need to interrupt me mid way through doing my paper to distract me from the questions - I also didn't get any extra time which is a bit annoying as the time I spent explaining myself to him I could've been doing my exam paper.
I just hope that this isn't a reoccurring incident which happens in the remaining exams I have.
