College + Newly Diagnosed

[u/superdupercass69]

Hello! I’ve been “officially” type 1 for about a year now from being 1.5. I just started school again to be an engineer and was wondering if anyone told their professors that they’re t1d and if so how did you go about it? Our disability office highly encourages me to tell my profs as does my mom. I was thinking of making a little note card w some information just in Casies. I have an Omnipod + Dexcom and my main concern if if my pod runs out or expires while in class and makes that annoying ass noise until I deactivate it or if Dex yells at me for going low (as we know it just gets louder). This quarter my teachers seem relaxed and don’t have a no food/drink policy that they’ve mentioned but in the future if they’re strict my school (disability department) can intervene if I don’t feel comfortable telling my profs or they refuse to let me have food in class.

"Prof if you hear a weird noise it's me, I have diabetes" And during exams "Prof I have diabetes can I lower my alarms but keep them on?" Obviously just to warn them if I beep
