Ask for a disability for diabetes!It is an insult
For my diabetics., for that one, I agree with @"clouds", for the others and like all the dbtcs of the world we are unique, each one assimilates and interprets their own need and convenience !!!
I only advise you, my great sweet family and, if they allow me, what in this forum are calmament and exchange opinions, examples, questions and knowledge of the experience already lived and that have given them good results;
It is worth it, obfusing for opposite comments!
I could say something with about my 60ans of dbts 1, and .... What ??? !!We are families and we must behave as such !!!OK???

clouds I think you don't understand anything.And a child with diabetes is not a normal child and needs adult help (dependence).Requesting this aid is normal, the abnormal thing is that it does not exist.
And not all schools have nurses, rather the opposite.

The one that you have not had more means and that despite not having good control, I have read you in another thread, do not have consequences, do not apply to other people that if we can have complications even with good control.So do not underestimate the importance of this disease.

Surely does not have such clouds?

Asking a disability for a diabetes is an insult to your child and for all diabetics.

As an occupational therapist, I have taken care to assess this aspect and is an objective fact, not an opinion, that diabetes does not absolutely any limitation to perform the basic and instrumental functions of daily life, which is how dependence is valued.

Do a favor to your child and do not tag him that way or make him believe that he has a disability because it is absolutely false.

Well, to be a graduate you have not understood the meaning of the question.

You can ask for a degree of disability from your child, not tell him and enjoy the few benefits you have (which they will not compensate).

In another case, you can tell it and make it clear from the first moment that it is not disabled and that you only do it for help that is available, you tell him that he takes advantage of him that the poor man has enough to be thinking about the fucking sugar all day.

At all times I am talking about diabetes without more, without any complication.If next year I lose the vision for a retinopathy, I will have a visual disability for retinopathy, but not because it is diabetic.That is what I am trying to explain, that a diabetes without more does not prevent you from life.That then, then, one has the misfortune of having a complication, because normal and correct that asks for the corresponding disability.

They are different things, I am 35 years old and I am aware that I am not going to reach 50 with zero complications, I am optimistic not illusion, but when the time comes I will worry.Life is very long to live distressed and feeling a patient since the age of 8.

I do not know how life is without diabetes, as I know what a millionaire is, but I thank life that has allowed me to do everything.

I know what happens: you do not understand the difference between disability and dependence.

If next year you have vision problems, it will be disability.A child is dependent on their care without having disabilities.
