[QUOTE="suzi, post: 29082, member: 11767"] Hi Alba37, What age is your son out of interest? Mine is 10 next month. Schools can be a nightmare, ours is very understanding, and when Andrew was able to have school dinners (he can't now, because he was diagnosed with coeliac disease last year) the suppervisor always directed him straight to the front of the queue along with his buddy. Our biggest problem last year was a teacher who just couldn't understand hypos! Twice she sent Andrew down the corridor with BG OF 2.1 to phone home! He could easily have collapsed, hurt himself or anything. Of course i was furious and the second time it happened i was ready to rip her head off :x !! Thankfully this years teacher is much more understanding, and Andrew has 4 buddys who know him well enough to know when he's acting "funny" and remind him to test and act upon results. It makes sending them to school much easier :D . The only advise i can give is keep at them till they get it right, as unfortunately i'm sure your son won't be the 1st diabetic child to grace there school, Andrews school has 3 at the moment. Suzi x [/QUOTE]
