Do you think Universities do enough to cater for diabetics?

[QUOTE="Lucie75, post: 119722, member: 23580"] Now now, c'mon guys. I think the main issue is that for many students at university, it is the first time they have been away from home for a considerable length of time. I know that if I had gone to university I would've hated the fact that there was nobody there to look out for me, particularly during the night. Where I work we don't go anywhere near looking after them, as it is part of university life that students learn to look after themselves. But if you are a type 1, at risk of hypos (especially with the change in routine), and people around you who are unfamiliar with it, it can be very daunting. We explicitly offer our support to our type 1's, and a lot of the time they don't call on us at all. We see ourselves as more of a halfway house between home and the real world. I'm sorry Fuji, I disagree, it's not all black and white. [/QUOTE]
