[QUOTE="lynde89, post: 370544, member: 61031"] I have had something similar. I was having a hypo between classes, as I went into the new classroom all wobbly I knocked the bin over & the teacher lost it. He started shouting at me even after I explained I was having a hypo & it was an accident. He ended up sending me out of the class on my own. I went to go get my bag which had my test kit & more sweets in it & he blocked the way & kicked me out. Luckily one of my friends grabbed my stuff for me & came to sit with me, after telling him again that I was low & shouldn't be in my own. He didn't care so she told him to stick it. We sat outside till the hypo was dealt with, he eventually came out to say we could come back in now. We tried to explain again, he wasn't interested, so I refused. Looking back I was pretty calm as would probably want to lash out at him or cry now. He got a phone call from my parents that night & changed after that saying he didn't understand, sometimes I think they don't always believe the pupil. He also got a talking to from a few other of my teachers who walked past & came to check on me. The best thing you can do is try to talk to them, or your parent or another teacher who understands, maybe your science or form tutor as they should know better? You can also sit down with them too. They need to know talking to you & about your diabetes in that way is unacceptable & they are not setting a good example. I hope you get this sorted.
