"I am alright with having diabetes, especially having food with my lessons. I found out I had diabetes 5 days ago and was very ill, I have Type 1." - Millie
"When I got diabetes, one of my friends wanted to get it when I told them about it at school." - Caroline
Don’t worry that things will change at school now you have diabetes – you can still eat the same sort of things as your friends, but you will need to eat regularly. You might even need to have a snack during lessons.
All about snacks at school
You can still do PE as well, but you might need to check your blood glucose levels and have a little snack beforehand. There’s nothing to stop you going on school trips either.
