[QUOTE="Alba37, post: 29617, member: 11938"] Thanks very much for the replies, Sue, Tubs & Suzi, I had the meeting at school and yet again they have assured me they will act on my concerns. It's been half term here this week so I'll need to see how it goes when the schools go back. He normally takes novorapid before lunch, I forgot to mention about the queue problem, so I'll have to get that sorted or maybe he could take it after lunch as you mentioned Sue. He is very forgetful and I'm not sure he'd remember to take it after lunch, but it's definitely something to consider. You would never believe he's been diabetic 2 1/2 years... he's pretty hopeless, without constant reminders. He hates injections, has a needle phobia, and is painfully slow to inject. He's such a worry. No one has ever mentioned SENCO to me, something else I need to check on, Tubs, thanks. My meeting was with his tutor (guidence teacher) and head of year. Suzi, my son is 15 now. He was diagnosed at 13, after I tested him at home. He kept saying he thought he was diabetic after I was diagnosed (I'm type 2) and I did the test to prove him wrong! His sugar was high and went on to get diagnosed at hospital. The school has been inconsistent ever since! He has just had the initial blood test for coeliac, we'll get the results at the end of the month. He's suffered IBS type symptoms since he was 9. After reading about coeliac recently myself (always presumed it was IBS) I asked if he should be tested. Not too sure how I'll feel if he tests positive! We are witing to hear when the genetic tests will be done. He has been sent out alone to go to the school office several times when taking a hypo in class. I have told them it's just not on (again) and I've given them leaflets to hand out to all his teachers with basic infomation. I really feel we have had very little support and information. I will talk to the hospital again when we are there at the end of the month. I want to find out about support groups also. Thanks again for all your advice. A x [/QUOTE]
