Can school life be the same when diabetes is always here?

[Northerner]

There are many things that you have to remember when going to school. For many its bag, pens pencils, dinner, books, and any other general school things. But for all diabetics we have a few added extras that need to be added to that list. We need our blood monitor machine, needles, insulin, pump, Lucozade, jellies. Now for me I won’t lie, I have been dozy and walked to school, to then realise that I haven’t put my needles (Novo Rapid) into my bag. Now I did have a panic, which again isn’t good for my bloods, as they send them on its own little mini rollercoaster, but I have a very supportive family and school members who are more than happy to let me ring home to get the things I need. So then I have Taxi Grandad to the rescue!
