[QUOTE="Karmamel, post: 345220, member: 56788"] Hi and thanks for replies yes probe is a cgm . She has to have it in for 3 days in hospital and 3 days at home. I definately will be making an appointment to speak to senco next week if the woman eventually takes my call:-/ . I really can't understand where the break down in communication has happened but to be honest there was always a bit of hostility from school when meg was first diagnosed and initial meeting took place where I asked for her to be supported the senco was quite stand offish to who would be supervising this. It was only when the nurse insisted it was their responsibilty to support meg that they agreed and deviced a care plan. As time went on meg it was agreed between myself meg and diabetic team that she could inject at school without supervision but then the senco objected stating that Megan would have to come to medical room or use a toilet as to not upset other children with potential needle fears . I insisted this was unfair on Megan and it was agreed she would inject in form room. I think this bothered them and possibly why they are now being difficult . After reading other posts on here I realise Megan isn't an isolated case and that other parents are going through same daily struggles with children not complying . This is a shock to me as my diabetic team tell me constantly that meg is the only child that after a year that they are having these issues with and only child with high readings ! As a parent I felt so responsible as I am her mum and should be able to get her levels down but like many this is so hard as she may not of been giving insulin at lunch times . I know she definately sneaks treats without insulin although I've told her constantly she can have treats but must have insulin to match the carbs . I honestly feel the diabetic team think I'm this mean mum for being cross with her for lying about things as they think this is because she is hiding her diabetes from school friends due to embarrassment but this simply isn't the case I know my daughter and I know it's because it simply gets in the way and quite frankly she can't be bothered. Although she is a bright girl she is just not mature enough to realise how her hypers are affecting her and the long term damage she is doing . I do think this is an age thing and surely with the right support we will all get over this blip . Unfortunately for many this support doesn't seem to be there and thinks seem to have to get serious before anything is done . For me I find all the while megs readings where 8 and below her team are brilliant but now she is running so high they seem to be finger pointing .
