[QUOTE="stoney, post: 345268, member: 22612"] "My daughter meg was diagnosed 12 January 2012 type 1 she is 12 years old." Hi Karmamel I'm sure that when people ask when your daughter was diagnosed you will never forget age 12, 12 Jan, 2012. I always remember it was the Millenium January 13th 2000 when James was diagnosed just before his 3rd birthday in April , then he started his primary school the next day. I can't begin to tell you how stressed, anxious and all the other feelings we Mum's have when they first start school as well as him coping with his Diabetes. I really feel for you as it cannot be easy coping as a teenager unlike James who has grown up with it. Surely Meg's school have had diabetic pupils prior to her and would have a provision put in place. I know when James started his secondary school our DSN and myself had a meeting with the Medical Person there where we kept a box with everything he needed in her cupboard and arrangements were put in place for him to leave his lesson 10 minutes before the end so that he could go to the medical room to do his insulin whilst the medical person is there and she records his BG's. There were three other older pupils who after a year left and he up until the present influx of pupils was the only one. He also was the only one with coeliacs as well, but there is now two other diabetics and one coeliac. I am sure you will get things sorted and Meg will be in a routine in school before long. Best Wishes Yvonne :thumbup: p.s. Thought that I would add that it has not been easy for us along the way but things do work themselves out so chin up and you will get a lot of advice and information on this forum which has been a massive help to us. :) [/QUOTE]
