I hope that someone who has been successful will reply.

When I was at uni a couple of years ago I was told that you only qualify if your diabetes has had long term adverse effects - blindness/nerve damage- that then classify you as "disabled". Although you are covered by what used to be the DDA, diabetes isn't classed as a disability unless complications have arisen. Things may have changed, but this is what I was told in 2012, :/

I did get DSA at uni but not for diabetes. It's a pretty bewildering process but the end result is worth it if you can get the support you need to do well on a course.
