[QUOTE="janrick, post: 370518, member: 45912"] Hi Samantha, I think it would be a good idea to ask your teacher if you would be able to address the class about diabeties. If you can explain a bit about the problem you will usually find more support instead of the silly remarks. Its just that they don't know why you sometimes act differently. Even you are new to this problem. Tell thel what a low actually is and how dangerous it can become if it isn't treated. I have been on Insulin for over 35 years. I was diagnosed as a late onset type 1 for my 40th birthday. What a present. My son is one and I have two grandchildren also type 1s. The youngest is a girl of 15 same as you. She had to talk to her class and educate one of her teachers. She now has some understanding friends and a teacher who is willing to help. Good luck kid. Those lucky ones who aren't diabetic need to learn about the problems you have, then the can even be helpers. Regards, Janet [/QUOTE]
