Whether you are still at school, or learning a trade, you are probably becoming more independent, and wanting to manage your diabetes with a little less attention from your parents and teachers.

School changes when you reach the final years.

There's a lot more pressure on you academically and about the choices you need to make in the future. Maybe you're starting to think about, or are about to apply for a place at university or TAFE? Or perhaps you plan to go into a job or apprenticeship? Either way, there's a lot to think about, and keeping everything in check can be tough.

We asked kids your age what their main worries were in relation to school.

They mentioned concerns about dealing with teachers who don't always understand what it means to have diabetes, managing their diabetes at camp, being bullied, and coping with exams.
