School vs. Type 1 Diabetes: 20 Times They Got It Right… and Horribly Wrong


Listen Later

School and Type 1 Diabetes don’t always get along — but sometimes, they absolutely nail it.
In this powerful episode, Mike and Jack dive into 20 real-life school stories from the T1D community — from horrifying mishandled hypos to the unsung heroes who made school feel safe. Expect chaos, compassion, and a whole lot of “WTF?!”🔊 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • 10 shocking school fails — snacks confiscated, insulin locked away, and zero empathy

  • 10 uplifting wins — thoughtful teachers, prepared nurses, and best mates for life

  • Jack’s honest thoughts on ignorance vs education

  • Mike’s scary school hypo that changed how he managed T1D

  • Why how a teacher responds can shape your entire school experience

💬 Quote from the Episode:

“When schools get it wrong, it’s not just inconvenient — it’s dangerous. But one understanding teacher can literally change a kid’s whole experience.” — Mike & Jack
