Try asking the teacher if you can give a presentation at assembly on diabetes.
I presume your t1 from your age. Me. I got when i was less than one. :-0.
Keys are:
What is type 1: destruction of the only cells in body to lower insulin, meaning you cant respond to produce your insulin anymore after eating.
Management of diabetes: t1 diabetics give themselves human insulin produced by scientists in bugs at certain times of the day.
They then need match the amount of sugars in any form, be it starch in bread, pasta, potatoes, fructose in mangoes, sugar in honey, treacle, glucose, sucrose, "any-ose" or cornsyrup in biscuits, chocolates, fizzy drinks.
So a diabetes tends to have less refined sugars as inhected finds its hard to cope with massive spikes in blood sugar levels from any of goodies.
(Maybe show a picture of blood sugars before and after food in diabetics vs euglycaemic (normal) people.
U cud try the bloodsugarbattles (bsb)site)
The bsb graph explained.
The lower line shows a non-diabetics responses to meals with small bumps upward in sugar. This is what a diabetic is aiming to achieve in their daily sugars.
The upper line shows how a diabetic responds to meals. See how their line is higher to start ie tgey higher blood sugar. ALL day. And work tbe bumps after meals, are bigger.
This means even with injections of insulin, blood control is difficult in tupe 1 diabetes. Diabetes try not to let tgeir sufars het too high, hence tend refuse the sugary fizzy drinks, sweets, cake :-(. Although sugar in cakes may be replaced with 1/2 granulated sugar, half grated zucchini which produce a beautiful cake. Mmmm.
But why all the effort to avoid hugb bloood sugars? Because high blood sugars promote new poirly formed leaky small blood vessels, "capillaries" in places they should be eg back of eyes, kidneys. High blood sugars also may affect nerves at the end of the limbs. Hence the "special diet" ie not too much junky goodies is wise advice.
On the otherside, diabetes may not receive enough food to match their insulin. Then they have a hypo(low)glycaemic (blood sugar) coma.
Tnis is characterised by tiredness, confusion, snappiness. If a am having a "hypo", either help me drink sips of some sugary fizzy drink like coca cola, not diet or max! If i can't take it or fight, don't force me, ask a teacher to call an ambulance as your friend in the (whereever in the school) is having a hypo.
So there we are.
I hope noone else here gers type 1 diabetes. It causes are partly genetic and some unknown environmental factirs which scientists across are working to identify. Through or other methods, maybe oneday i too can all the goodies i like
So in summary, anyone can get type 1 diabetes. Its a balancing act between not too much sugar, nor too little starchy foods.

How about that?
Maybe you dont dancy giving ut or would say other things. Thats fine too. If the teacher, i think they-d be happy to help and hopefully the school tards will get off your case.
