[QUOTE="suzi, post: 105208, member: 11767"] Hi Alex, Never appologise for rambling, the Mum's of diabetic children on the forum know where your coming from and i hope we can all be of help to you. The first thing you need is a big ((hug)), we've all been where you are now and understand all the emotions your going through. My son was 7 when he was diagnosed and is 11 yrs old on Monday, things get easier and your always learning new things with diabetes. Regarding school, i suggest you make an appointment with the head of school and his new teacher, along with your sons DN and go in armed with imformation, it's not as daunting as it sounds, and you may find your son isn't the first diabetic the school has had. They may suggest delaying his entrance into school for a week or so until you get into a routine with his diabetes, it can't do any harm to do so. Don't concern yourself about having to go into school to do his bs and injections, it has to be done, and nobody will think your being over protective ect. Andrew was lucky at school when diagnosed, his teacher's husband was T1 and she was so well educated in diabetes that it took a lot of the worry from me. the following years teacher was a nightmare, but eventually Andrew was able to deal with it all him self, he grew up fast. On the whole his school has been very good, and its only in the last year that he has had to do an injection in school, he started doing his own injections when he was 8yrs old. Take care, Suzi x [/QUOTE]
