I met my workplace half way, they give me two days off for health reasons and I took two days annual leave. I work for the NHS so it's all on managers discretion. I had to back my request up with some reasons as to why it would benefit the company for me to go on the course - the NHS isn't so big on it's staff having hospital appointments.
Points to consider putting forward:
•Better control and hopefully (if it's been a problem in the past) reduce your time off in the long term.
• More efficient in your job ie. high bloods more sluggish and lethargic
• Less hospital appointments (one of the main focus' on the DAFNE is to take more control and reduce your appointments)
• best one of all - the responsibility of your employer to ensure your health and well being.
Good luck, it's an excellent course and very informative. X
