Not that you should do this, but my best friend through high school used to have to walk me to the nurse station and wait for me 15 minutes before lunch we got out of class early.
my school has 18 other diabetics this year (i think) and i have met a new one like almost every day...it is starting to get scary. but yes i have used my diabetes for an excuse many times!!! like to get out of gym, or if we have a pop quiz, i can just say that i dont feel well and i can usually get out of them
my daughter Madison is 4 and starting kindergarten next fall as in 2010 she is the only child with diabetes under 15 where we live it is a small coastal area of about 30000 people. I worry about her being the only kid in school with diabetes.

[/quote]18 others?! That's a lot!
yesss!!! im the only one in my grade and there is one a couple grades above me but he is very different than me!! i live in clever missouri a very small town!!! so its hard being the only one! buuuuuuttttt i get through it! my doctor has always told me to think hard of my graduating day as i look out in the crowd i now that i'll be the healthiest which at my age doesnt really help but i know wen im older it will!!
wen the mind tells u that uv had enough but the heart tells u not to give up..just stand up to everyone everything and every non believer!
well im the only 1 in my school im in the 8th grade and yeahh , idc , i still have fun with every 1 and every 1 knows i have it . n we all still go 2 the mall aand stuff n and have fun .
Im lucky as i have a couple friends who are also type 1's . they are both younger but one has already told me she will answer any questions i have since she was diagnsed at 12 . Im not sure if there are others in my school due to the strict regulations on that info but i just found out my counselor has been type 1 for 30 years now.
