Yes she is aware. On Friday she asked coming in from lunch and had to wait till home time , she actually had tummy ache from waitingDoes the teacher know your daughter is diabetic. My teacher used to let everyone go to the toilet because its embarrassing to hold it in and have a accident

I did speak to the teacher on the first day when the teacher told the class the rule. Apparently the teacher was a right cow on Friday I don’t care if you’re desperate you go at lunchHi, best thing is to make an after school appointment with the teacher to talk through ways of helping her, if that doesn't help, then go to the headteacher.
Your daughter must feel so distressed and uncomfortable at school and it's probably holding back on her education if she's sitting bursting to go to the loo. What is her BG like, as highs can make us wee a lot more ?
I hope you get support, take care.
She is okay with using the loos. I honestly think the stress of knowing the teacher won’t let her go is making it worse. Surely it’s a human right to have a wee when needed?@Cheska tyler sorry to read about your daughter's distress.
In addition to talking to her teachers, I recommend working out why your daughter needs to go to the toilet in the middle of a lesson. Someone with reasonably well managed diabetes should not be struggling with bladder problems and should be able to last a lesson without a break.
The need for a wee may have nothing to do with diabetes. Perhaps your daughter has a problem with the toilets during her break?
The power goes to their heads. It’s either that or my daughter can wee on her shoesI have to say many many years ago when I was at school we had a teacher who was very much the same and insisted that you had to wait. My mum told me if you have to go then go if the need is great just walk out no matter what the teacher says and that is what I did.

Thanks for that . I would double check with your daughter if I was uHi @Cheska tyler the other aspect is that if she doesn’t go when she needs to then she runs the risk of getting a kidney infection which along with her diabetes would cause her more issues. I’d go straight to the head about this and explain the importance of allowing her to go when she needs to, my daughter is 11 and although not diabetic she is still allowed to go to the loo if she needs to.
Thanks for that . I would double check with your daughter if I was u
