Lunch supervisor tried to inject my sister with insulin she didn't need.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at a pretty young age, 8.

I'm actually really lucky that I was able to have such a good support system during my primary school years.

All my teachers knew that I had diabetes, as well as the lunch ladies and the lunch supervisors.

And they never really treated me

differently apart from being concerned for me sometimes this actually concerns a lunch supervisor

who we me and my sister suspect to be kind of racist and it happened a few months around five

after I got diagnosed for context we are black and when we were younger, me and my sister, who I'll

call Brenda for clarity, were pretty much identical, despite the fact that she was a year younger than me.

It got to our point that relatives used to remark that people could almost mistake us for twins.

Now, at school, that wasn't really a problem because we used to act very differently. I was more introverted and very much into books while she was a quintessential extroverts and was always more fierce. And for people who have seen us day in and day out, it was clear that we were different. Despite the fact that this supervisor knew us by name, by face and could differentiate us, she would always act snide to us in a way that was uncomfortable.

Our school was incredibly diverse, with the minority of white people and mostly Asian and black people,

so I honestly don't know where this came from. Anyway, this supervisor knows that I take insulin

for lunch, and that I'm to go straight to the nurse once it's lunchtime.

I was even allowed to leave early sometimes to get my dose.

One day she sees my sister playing in the playground before they call us for lunch.

We were allowed to play for around 15 minutes before lunch, eat lunch, and then get 30 minutes

to play again before classes started back up. And, I'm paraphrasing from my sister here, grabbed my sister and started dragging her to the nurse.

The nurse's office in which I and my fellow diabetics would take our insulin was around a 10-minute

walk from the playground and quite close to both the luncheal and the pastoral team.

And the separate nurse's office for normal scrapes and stuff

was really around two minutes from the playground.
