Message: <blockquote data-quote="Robinredbreast" data-source="post: 1311197" data-attributes="member: 44643">My granddaughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 2 1/2 years and she has never been on a special needs register. Before she could attend nursery school, 3 days a week, all the staff had to be trained about type 1.She is 8 now and is a happy. normal and a healthy little girl. Special needs is a 'label' and I believe type 1's,whether children, teens or adults don't need this, we live a very normal and active life (unless there are other medical condition's) A care package should be put into place for the child needs in school, because of injections, hypo's and hyper's. School can be a tough enough playground for children as it is and they can be singled out by their peers for being 'different'.</blockquote>
