[QUOTE="Patch13, post: 529398, member: 58178"] Well it's definitely a good thing you came on here then as I am sure there are plenty of people who understand how frustrated you feel sometimes and maybe able to offer advice. I would talk to your DSN about being sore and see what they can suggest. It might be an idea to keep dextrose tablets or similar in your school bag. If I felt like I was having a hypo at school I used to just test where I was and hid the meter under the table on my lap or reached into my bag. I then just used to eat dextrose if I was low. This also meant I didn't have to do a long walk to the medical room whilst hypo. I was lucky as none of my teachers commented at all. I think your teachers are probably just worried about you missing lessons and valuable information. I doubt this is out if spite. It is probably due to a lack if understanding about what a hypo is and how it makes you feel / the fact it is hard to concentrate and also concern that your grades will dip and you won't achieve what you are capable of. I really like the idea of sharing information with them about diabetes. Perhaps you could find some information about diabetes and ask if it can be given to teachers so they have a better understanding of what you're going through. I also agree with posters above that suggest talking to your tutor and expressing your concerns. Or if you aren't that close to your tutor you could speak to another teacher or member of staff that you feel comfortable with. Or if you aren't much of a talker then how about writing it down? Best of luck. Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
