SCHOOLCHILDREN with diabetes are being urged to avail of the breaks they are entitled to during the upcoming Junior and Leaving Certificate exams to ensure their performance is not affected.
A group of doctors at the Department of Endocrinology at Temple Street Hospital in Dublin looked at a sample of their patients who had type 1 diabetes and sat the Junior Cert three months previously in 2012.
"Rest breaks are available for students with type 1 diabetes to complete each examination, but just over a quarter of patients in this study availed of this support," the doctors led by Diarmuid Scully found.
