[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1360620, member: 338121"] Just an update! So, the head of exams has referred it back to the Disability Service, who hopefully now they have had a voice from on high will be more helpful this time - last time round they wanted me to magically prove that I was diabetic! I'm also waiting to hear back from the relevant people about extenuating circumstances. I think diabetes is a tough one, because it's less 'obvious' what impact it might have - everyone has a rough idea that people with epilepsy could have a seizure, and what that might look like, or people suffering with asthma might need their inhalers - but what does a hypo really look like? It's not somethign you'd necessarily understand unless you've experienced it, or seen someone have a really bad one. Thank you so much for all your wonderful help and advice! [/QUOTE]
