  For caregivers of children with T1D, do you have any accommodations at your child’s school for managing T1D? For adults with T1D, did you have accommodations when you were in school? Please share more about your experiences managing T1D with caregivers and school staff in the comments.
  That is quite a teaser. I hope to hear your story some time.

  I was diagnosed in 1973 at age 9yrs. There was no accommodations but I am sure I would have been able to eat/drink something if needed to bring my blood sugar up. There were no blood glucose meters at that time and I didn't have to give myself injections at school as my NPH and Regular insulins were combined into one syringe and just given two times a day (once in the morning and once at dinner time).
