[QUOTE="LittleSue, post: 28123, member: 6295"] HI Alba37 Make sure they also understand that hypos must be treated promptly and his symptoms (high or low) are part of his condition, even with careful planning they will happen sometimes and are not his fault. If your son takes his insulin before official lunchtime starts, how long is it before he gets his food? A long queue and could result in him going hypo before or shortly after lunch. If he's on a rapid-acting bolus he could inject straight after eating and if his basal is set right any delay wouldn't cause major problems. Or you could perhaps arrange for him and a friend to go to the front of the queue so his lunch is at a predictable time. Don't know the procedure/allowance for extra time in exams but a local diabetes group, or disability officer from the council education department may have experience or 'guidelines' about this. If not maybe contact the exam board. Hope this helps Sue [/QUOTE]
