[QUOTE="Moaney, post: 379093, member: 66623"] ^^^how rude!!! Hey Sam, When I was younger my school arranged a "denim for diabetes" day in school, I'm not sure if they still do it, but my school took part and I went round the classes and explained what it was and how I look after it and what needs to be done when and if I hypo. It was great fun, everyone got to wear civvies to school and it got pupils involved so it didn't put all the focus on me alone. You should see if your school will allow your class even to do a topic on it so people are more aware of your diabetes, maybe if they understand they'll lay off a bit!! Although I get that times have moved on and children aren't as receptive nowadays!! :( Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
