Hello...new to this site.....so far, very impressed. Question, has anyone had any experience asking the College Board for testing accommodations for their high school type 1? It was suggested that we do this...however, no other LD or med issues except Type 1. Our child was denied extended time, but was...

I've got some new stuff on my blog! Check out my tabs above... I've made the SCHOOL & OTHER CAREGIVER tab a little easier to use! You can click on the links to be taken to the documents! The documents available are a sample 504 plan, a blood sugar flow chart, pump directions, Dexcom directions...

I've attempted to get on here multiple times over the past few months... unsucessfully. Forgotten which email I used, forgotten the password, got lazy... etc. Well, hi. A lot has happened, and then again, a lot hasn't. Mostly hasn't. My diabetes has stayed under control. My cholesterol is...

Hi I am a middle school- school nurse. This may seem like a broad question but if you wanted the school nurse to know one thing about you (it could be anything: you, diabetes, friends, your care while in school, ....) what would it be?

Jessica I get to meet the stupid nurse Monday the first day of school to go over everything and without orders I am screwed. There is a book, with Pink Panther on the cover that's got forms with all orders, you fill out her information and doses and stuff, fax it to your doctor, he will sign it and...

So far I have found: Ability to leave class or test BG in class Ability to eat or drink to control a low BG when needed Extra...

story. of. my. life. and i haven't even told half of my friends that I have diabetes. I have a friend that whenever he see's someone overweight, is like "oh! they must have diabetes." If I had the guts to tell him i'd tell him diabetes doesn't only have to do with weight but...

Help! I'm applying for college scholarships and I was wondering if anyone knows any for diabetes that I could apply to. Please let me know ASAP!

I was at school all day today. From 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM. And my blood sugar was high for most of the day. So I just wanted to curl up under my electric blanket and nap the day away and occasionally surface into reality to down some water. But, that was not what happened. Instead I had to sit through class...

I'm a resident assistant for a college dorm and a type one diabetic. I'm doing a informative board on diabetes and how to be more understanding about it. So my questions to you out there: What is something that you never want to hear someone say to you again about your diabetes? What is one thing...

The reason i am writing this is, because i know how it is in middle school and i know how it feels to be picked on. It is hard to sit and ignore people who constaintly make fun of you or talk a lot of smack about you. That is why you take a couple of deep breaths and you say something to them! and i...

Dont you all hate it when all of a sudden you guys fell low and you have to leave in the middle of something important. when this happens to me it is just embarrassing to walk up to the teacher in the front of the class and tell him you need to leave. whats even worse is when he/she calls someone up...

I go to DHS class of 2011 and every day since my freshman year i have been blamed for something i didnt do or dropped in the middle of drama after fucking drama. i love my friends but even they are getting pretty annoying. Everyday its "jackie did you do this" or "Jackie did you take ur...

It’s everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. School, work, home, at the mall, EVERYWHERE. If I really stop and think about it I see diabetes almost everywhere in my life. School. I’m currently a nursing student. In all of my classes diabetes is mentioned almost daily. “Remember to pay special...

Im Brittany, and im 14. I hate feeling low, then having to ask my teacher to go to get a snack. Some people make fun of me all the time. What do you guys do to combat this?
