[QUOTE="cm1976, post: 107643, member: 20191"] Hi there I hope things are going OK for u both - in the very beginning its a bit like ur constantly running up hill with no sign at all of the horizon!! My son started school in Sept04 and was diagnosed Mar05... Our school wldnt do his bm's Which quite irritated me as they claimed it was due to blood risks however they wld clean a cut if someone fell on the yard!!! which is more blood if u ask me! anyway.... I was lucky in that my son only has 2 injection a day so I dont have to go to the school to do these at lunch (he has his bfast and tea) and the consultant said that until he cld do his own BM it wld be ok to leave out the lunchtime one as long as we did it weekends and school holidays... As far as hpos were concerned I just told school that if he showed signs or said he felt low they were to treat him unless they were prepared to learn how to do his BM to check his levels... It did cause a few probs as far as his levels were concerned as there were times they gave him sugar cos they thought he was low but he clearly wasnt frm his levels at tea!! but rather that than them ignore it and not give him sugar if it was needed! I did have to ask our diabetic nurse to go to the school and do an awareness session especially after having issues with supply teachers NOT ALLOWING him his afternoon snack !!! In all fairness we have been quite lucky at our school as they have been very accomodating with his needs - He's allowed to go into lunch early (with the infants - he's juniors and gets to take a friend) he has chocolate b4 PE and has an afternoon snack whereas rest of school dont... The have also done a fact sheet to put around all areas of the school on how to treat hypos with H's mugshot on it! I just found constant nagging was the order of the day and putting certain teachers straight when they accused my son of making up the fact he felt low so he cld have chocolate grrr!!!! Who cares tbh.... even if he was which he wasnt!! really irritated me as they werent prepared to test his sugar to check but happy to accuse him of lying to ALL just ring u Hope it goes ok for u x [/QUOTE]
