My 7 year old has been type 1 for a year and a half. At the time of diagnosis a few people in his class said he got it because he ate too much sugar. He knows this is not true (I think) but is a sensitive child and obviously doesn't like it. At the time I asked the teacher to play the video to the class explaining type 1 and how it just happens (the one with the little girl in bed talking to the ball thing). That seemed to do the trick until this week when he got upset and didnt want to go to school because a younger child said u are diabetic because you are too much sugar and he didnt feel able to speak up and say no I didnt. Is they any tips for how I can help solve this form him. I want to wear a "its autoimmune sign" but obviously that's not practical. I dont believe the children are being deliberately mean but want them corrected so they understand. He would rather I didnt talk to the school about it.
