[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think T1D is different from MS or Lupus (which my daughter has). Usually (!) the issues w well known and understood treatment protocols are okay. Every reader will say, oh, like my brother or my bestie from high school.  Shows personal health management and reason for career interest.

But I worry OPs daughter is like mine. It’s all a giant question mark.  Monthly labs that can be routine or can send her straight to the ER w liver biopsies, total med change, hospital stay followed by more questions.  She needed a single room because she really needs to sleep by 9. No drinking at all ever.  Etc.  She could be read, correctly, as a lot more than can be handled by their med center and possible issues with teacher allowances, housing issues, etc

My daughter didn’t mentioned and got into the 2  HYPSM schools she applied to.

I want to advise the OR to investigate health insurance if the college is out of state . The plans colleges offer may not be up to it. And get a team in place there that is willing to loop parents in at least sometimes.  Things like MyChart won’t be available once the kid is 18. And some MyCharts aren’t read between hospitals, which is crazy is something happens in one state and you bring her back to your state for care.

I’m glad my daughter got to attend her dream school and it’s was 95% fine. But the 5% was worrisome med stuff and even tho the college didn’t have to deal w much of it, I’m glad we didn’t mention it and scare them off.

You come off as incredibly ignorant about TD1. Believe it or not TD1s end up in the hospital as well and spiral when very sick. Its not a cakewalk and is everyday management.

I am sorry to hear about the struggles with Lupus, but please stop with the arrogance about the impacts of TD1 on a person's life. [/quote]
