[QUOTE="Scandichic, post: 527895, member: 94210"] Hi there! The kids I teach know I'm diabetic. I once needed to eat something and the kids asked why and I told them. This means that none of them even think about it if I eat something. In the past I always would have been a sure bet for donations to cake sales but I have declined those recently and explained why. I think you should eat something when you need to and if the kids ask why just explain. At the end of the day, we are role models and there will be kids there who are diabetic. Since acknowledging my diabetes, some of my kids who are diabetic have come to have a chat about it. My boss told me to leave the room to test or go in the book cupboard. I do it quickly at my desk if I need to. I generally do it at the start of lunch. Remember! Lunch is unpaid and if you need to test, do it before your club starts. I eat yoghurt and blueberries or veggies and dip or tapas style stuff chucked into a container. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
