Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="lizdeluz" data-source="post: 526853" data-attributes="member: 32108">Does your head teacher know much about diabetes?  S/he will know you have diabetes, but might need some info about how you personally need to manage your diabetes.  It would be useful to discuss it with him/her, because there may be other teachers with diabetes in your school and probably a number of students also trying to fit diabetes into their school day, and the head teacher will have a policy on how to support students and staff with diabetes.I know what you mean about break time and lunchtime being gobbled up by meetings, activities and supervision.  I think your phrase, "I have to eat right now" is fine and will be perfectly well understood when colleagues know you have diabetes.  Your health has to come first.  So be clear and unapologetic about that.</blockquote>
