[QUOTE="martinbuchan, post: 18159, member: 718"] Hi, its a difficult situation for you. The poblem is educating the teacher. Its hard enough dealing with the ignorance and prejudice of health staff not involved in diabetes care. How does an educator deal with complex medical problems? My daughter developed epilepsy last year. 'Luckily' there are two other fitters in her class. The school has been fab. Our local epilepsy nurse offered to go into the school- but she didn't have to, they are brill. Also, my anaethetist's daughter is in the same class who is on insulin. They are quite good with her as well. Being 12, she has lots of highs and lows which are managed well (her mum is also a local GP). Moving school is drastic and might not be practible. Your local paediatric/community diabetic nurse would be an obvious professional who will have experience in dealing with the kind of anxieties/prejudices your teacher will have. You will have to work with the school, I am sure you feel you do not want to antagonise them. Good luck [/QUOTE]
