I was in a slightly different boat in that I was working 3 days a week when my 9 year old developed diabetes but it was not an issue for the wrap around club at school. They obviously needed training by the diabetic nurse but now they manage her fine. Your son should not be excluded from childcare because of diabetes.  I have moved to a job where I am employed as a certain number of hours per week and if I need to change days for diabetic clinic then its fine. The after school club runs holiday club too so I use that if I am working the holidays. They know what is planned so call if need advice e.g booked the ice cream van to visit one day.Another mum at school in the same position as you but with an autistic child has got a dinner lady job and 4 afternoon shifts at the afterschool club where her son goes (and my daughter) She too is a single mum and would struggle if her days didnt match the school insets etc. Her longer term plan is to move across to teaching assistant again for the hours. Hope that helps x</blockquote>
