[QUOTE="Alba37, post: 27619, member: 11938"] Hi Everyone! :D I'm new here and looking for some advice. I'm Type 2 and my son hasn't got a proper diagnosis yet but is being treated as Type 1. He's getting genetic tests for MODY as he rarely has good BS readings. He's normally high or low. He was diagnosed over 2 years ago. He was put straight to an adult clinic and I feel we have missed out on children specific advice. My immediate questions are related to school. Since he has not got good control he normally feels pretty unwell e.g. headaches, very tired etc. I have tried to arrange he gets out of class 5 mins early at lunch time, to enable him to take his BS and injection then get in to the lunch queue in time to get something to eat. It's been pretty hit and miss whither he gets out of class or not. Apart from that there is no other diabetic related help from school. I have an appointment with the school to reiterate the importance of him getting out in time to get lunch. I read recently he should get extra time in exams as his concentration can be affected and could hypo during an exam. (I never thought of this and am worried I've left it too late to organise) He has his (Scottish) prelims in Nov and standard grades in May 2009. I called Diabetes UK to ask if this is correct and they said yes. I am now worried there are things I should ask or discuss with the school... so my question is, can anyone think of anything I should discuss at the meeting? Any help and advice is much appreciated.
