My son is doing his GCSEs this year. Could you please advise where I can find guidance on exam time allowances and rules? He tends to have Hypos toward the end of the exam and so to miss last questions. Thank you.

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...

Hi all - I live in Tanzania, and we are taking my 7year old son home to start him up on a Tandem + Dexcom G6 system. We need to get it right as we go back ASAP after he gets the pump/sensors. He usually is in school/sports at 8 am – 4 pm, and that is my main concern. All advice on how to...

Hello my fellow T1Ds! I'm new to this forum but I had something I wanted to share. I'm a filmmaker from Canada who was struggling to see T1D properly represented in film - or represented at all for that matter - so I decided to save up some money and make my own short that explores what it's...

hiya, for my design project i am looking for ways to make diabetes easier and less scary for small children and also easier for parents to get kids to do their tests and have their injections. Do you have ideas that you think would help you and your child? Thanks x

My 4 year old son started school on Tuesday and I am so upset with how the school have treated him. Today I have been told by my son's preschool that they received a phone call from his class teacher (without my knowledge) at this new school complaining about how much time it was taking to test...

Hi Just wondered if anyone had any ideas on no/low carb snacks I can send my son to school with. At the moment we have been sending cucumber, cheese or a little bit of chopped up peppers for when he is in his higher range but most of the time it ends up coming home uneaten and gets wasted...

Hi! I have a problem. When i'm at school, i can't concentrate on my work and when the teacher is telling something. At home when i'm studying, it's hard and it doesn't really get in my head. Do you guys have any tips? What do i need to do? Because the last few days i get bad grades and normally...

So as some of you may know, I care for a wee Type 1 in school, and have been lurking around here for quite a while. I'm finding most of job alright at the moment - there are days when I barely have to intervene with my T1 and we don't hear the telltale dings of a pump alarm - and there are days...

So I'm a t1d teenager going back to school soon. My family just moved a few months ago (pre diabetes diagnosis) though it was only a little more than a mile it was into a new school zone so it will also be a new school though I fortunately know some people there. Other than the regular back to...
