[QUOTE="Jem, post: 49901, member: 11146"] Dennis makes a lot of sense there (and also told me some things I hadn't realised, like eating apples and plums is ok - on that note I've had great results with strawberries and cherries, both delivering low pp bgs) - regarding the environment in which you work, as a diabetic worker you are entitled to have the chance to test when necessary and also to eat (it takes a few seconds to eat a piece of cheese, I find the pre-wrapped cheddar slices, although expensive, are handy) and you should by law have access to hand washing facilities - might it be possible to take a bathroom break midway between starting work and your first break? At this point you could wash your hands, do a blood test and shove a piece of cheese in your mouth? All in four minutes haha ... Understanding of course that many people are nervous of bringing their diabetes into any workplace discussion (yes, we're all nervous of losing our jobs and don't want any extra ammo given!) but your first priority should be your health ... and for the sake of a 4 minute break you may be a healthier more productive member of the team (or that;s how I might word it LOL) ... all the best and keep the faith, Jem xo [/QUOTE]
