she is the only diabetic there. :( CGM beeps when it’s 8 and when it’s 3.4.

the point is they had a meeting with nurses. They have a whole plan printed out what to do. But it was when she had a “honeymoon” and sugars were mild. Now with puberty and after lockdown basal rate rose, sugars (as nurses warned us several times!) are not that predictable and school panics and...

Thank you! I really wonder why they can’t let her be. I know a few girls in a school nearby, also diabetics, nobody cares! I mean - they have high sugar, they go and do and injection, they have low - they go and eat glucose. School says - oh, do something, it affects let learning. Sugar doesn’t...

Thats what I want - I want them to let her manage it herself. And she can. But they hear her CGM beeping and send her to manager straight away. She can’t even go to toilet to do her finger prick or injection - always under supervision. It’s like taking care to such a level you want to run. Maybe...

thank you! Yes, sometimes Dexcom is a real curse. They make her wait till sugars go back to normal so she misses lessons, and their faces if I have to collect her... it’s like if they say last goodbyes! Just... unbelievable!

Thank you!!! Every time she has high or low they make her contact us. Also for lunch adjustments. And every time she suggests to do what I would suggest. She knows what to do (apart from times she tries to nibble on something sweet and thinks I cants see :)). But they take her from lessons till...

Thank you! We really do our best. Also lunches at school are not the healthiest one. :) We just try to keep her optimistic about her condition, and they make us feel like her condition is a nightmare. She is stressed. And I don’t even ask them to support us - just not to ruin our efforts to...

we didn’t see our team for quite a time, then lockdown, we will see them this month and hopefully they will do something and help us. Because school staff creates a really disturbing atmosphere around our child, it’s plain scary already.

They always say the same - she looks pale and shaky. I come to collect her and she looks scared and surprised like - mum, I’m fine, why are they sending me home? They look so terribly worried, always, that I’m afraid she will begin copying them. When she has same high sugar at home, she just...

Thank you ! they are afraid of responsibility I guess. Honestly, they could leave everything to her, she is a smart child, she can manage. But when she has high sugar, or low sugar, they call me and say - oh, she is pale, she is sick, collect her. We go home and she says - mum, I’m always pale...

Pity your GO is like that but being under a specialist care is great! yep, we have a CGM but at school they don’t trust it and make her prick her fingers. They had a meeting with our team long ago but I guess they just don’t want to accept that honeymoon is over. I understand that. :) But that’s...

Our team last time said oh, it’s understandable, they feel nervous... but they make us so nervous too! I’ll talk to our team soon again, we will see... because I have a feeling that our school is up to something. If they don’t want our child - why not saying it, why smiling and complaining? :(

Hello all! I feel sad and a bit scared too. Our child was diagnosed with type 1 several years ago. At first everything was fine, honeymoon, normal sugars, school agreed to look after her. Everything changed a year ago. Honeymoon was over. Puberty began. Sugars started jumping. And school...
