I'm due to sit a series of post-grad exams in June over 2 days in one of the medical colleges.
I've just been recently diagnosed. I have no idea how my BG will react to exam stress.
I believe that certain exam adjustments can be made such as allowing time for BG testing, eating to keep BG up and to correct a hypo, and pausing an exam if BG is too low (similar to DVLA requirements).
If anyone has arranged this for an exam they have taken could you let me know how you went about it? Did you just write and say what adjustments you felt were reasonable? Or did you have to get a Drs or hospital letter requesting adjustments?
I've been asked to arrange this now as the timetable is being put together for the end of the month.
Any help appreciated!
