[QUOTE="SurreyDad, post: 1170036, member: 303608"] Hi Sophie, Sorry to hear about the problem teacher... With comments like "I think she likes having diabetes", I wonder whether she realises the true extent of having/caring for diabetes? Probably not. My daughter was diagnosed T1 around 6 weeks ago and so many people say "I'm glad she's better now"... my wife hates this as she thinks people are belittling her diabetes. I didn't know anything about diabetes until it personally affected me, so these people don't either. Don't take any nonsense from her teacher/school. I've had a couple of conversations with my daughters headteacher already. Nothing major, but her teacher indicated that she may not be able to go on a school trip unless my wife or I could go. We couldn't that day and I let them know that her not going wasn't an option. Would they ban an asthma sufferer from going unless one of their parents went? Generally the school have been great, but we've had to force the issue a couple of times when they have tried to take an easy way out. There is no easy way out for us or my daughter! [/QUOTE]
