Hi Tasha,
just wondering when you were diagnosed and how old you are - there is another site that you may be interested in but not sure if its for newly diagnosed or 'old timers'! What insulin are you on and how is your control?:DBev

Hi Tasha,
Must have been a bummer for christmas? Have you had an hba1c yet? What was it if you dont mind me asking and what were you on diagnosis?Do you have good support around you? How do you get on with school etc? Have they been accommodating to you? 🙂 bev

Hi Bev

Yes it was a bit of a disappointment for me especially as it was only a few weeks away from christmas, but my family are really supportive and helped me. My dn's are also fantastic and the diabetes clinic is really good too. I havent had a hba1c yet but on diagnosis my blood sugars were 37 +. I had two days off school as i was admitted to hospital and then the day after one of my diabetic nurses came into school with me and mum and had a meeting with my head of year. So they all know what i require - like a place to do my injection, how to treat a hypo and stuff like that. By the way Bev what was that website you mentioned to me a few days ago? 🙂
 
Hi paris1066 & Tasha43X - welcome. I am a Type Two also. These folk are great. Just ask - no matter how silly you think it may be. We are all together.

I am a school principal. You let me know if you have problems at school; and don't be afraid to speak with the principal - year heads are great but it is the boss you go to if you need help.

Hi Ceara

I don't think that i would go to my headtecher as she isnt exactly the easiest person to confront, as i am in an all girls grammar school so she keeps a bit of a stern face but at the moment everything is going ok at school, thanx for the advice by the way :D
 
Welcome Tasha And Paris :d:d
