Hey all
Ive been diabetic for about 8 ish years, since I was 10.. in primary and secondary school most people knew I have diabetes.
Now that I am at college, some of my classmates are aware, and only one teacher knows.. and this wasnt a problem, as i tend to run high rather than low, but because its not good to be high, the other day I did slightly more insulin to take me down which led to a hypo in my theory lesson, and I felt really uncomfortable eating hypo treatment/testing as it was the teacher who doesnt know.
I didnt want to just sit there eating and for it to cause a huge fuss in front of everyone, because its embarrassing and im quite shy talking about diabetes anyway.. so what can i do?
How can i randomly tell my teacher about my diabetes in the least awkward way if you get me?
Thanks x
