My Rights.

I have the right to use my mobile phone to manage my diabetes and I am exempt from the ban on mobile phone use in schools. My mobile phone shows me my blood sugar reading which enables me to reduce potentially fatal high and low blood glucose spikes. I need to have access to my mobile phone in the classroom, at lunch, in exams, in the playground and during PE. 

I have the right to attend diabetes related medical appointments. This information should be entered in the academic register so that I am not penalised by my attendance records.

I have the right to participate in all aspects of school life and should not be denied opportunities to go on school trips, do PE, or be in a sports team.

I have the right to be educated in a school with staff that are trained to support me and to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that I am not discriminated against, or placed at a disadvantage.

I have the right to be treated considerately. When my blood sugar is out of range, either high or low, it can affect my behaviour, my social skills, my ability to learn, my attention, my memory, my processing speed and my perceptual skills, so when you are talking to me please take that into account.
