[QUOTE="Fallen_skydive_angel, post: 389148, member: 72561"] Hi Vera, I can comment on both the UK treatment and German as I was diagnosed back in 1997 when I lived in Germany, and I feel truly blessed to have been diagnosed there and not in the UK. I too was admitted to hospital for 2 weeks and was not allowed to leave until both my parents and myself had been properly trained in how manage my diabetes well. I was taught to carb count from day 1, which allowed me over 15 years of excellent control. In my experience, Germany was about 8 years ahead of England when it came to both teaching and supporting diabetics to safely manage their diabetes. I cannot however comment on the differences in how schools in the different countries operate, as I attended a British school while living there. It seems a little bizarre and unreasonable for the care and support there to be so good and yet the children can be discriminated against regarding excursions etc. It was always explained to the schools I attended that I was we'll controlled and could manage my diabetes well by myself and so it never prevented me from doing anything.
