[QUOTE="iHs, post: 1292306, member: 8799"] When I was at school, I needed to eat a small snack mid morning mid afternoon. Most of my lessons were 1hr long so eating a snack between lessons wasn't a problem until some of my lessons lasted 2hrs so needed to eat something during the lesson. One day.....had a 2hr maths lesson and the teacher taking it flatly refused to let me eat an apple and confiscated it so I resorted to hope that I would be ok but realised I wasn't so started to eat some glucose tabs. The maths teacher promptly took them off me with a good telling off. I then went really low and fell asleep at my desk. The maths teacher couldn't wake me and realised that although I told him that I was diabetic, this was an illness that needed to be taken a bit more seriously. The 2hr lesson was cut short at 1.5hrs and the other kids loved it as they could leave. Headmistress was called who came to my rescue with some lucozade and table sugar and got me to slowly wake up again. Maths teacher got a lecture needless to say. [/QUOTE]
