[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1256514, member: 295621"] Hi Liam. Before worrying about work or your boss, it's important that you focus on these morning hypos. No one should be throwing up and nearly collapsing on their morning commute. Do you know why this is becoming a regular event? Most HR departments work on a basic model where if an employee has anymore than four absences (for whatever reason) in a year then they basically get red flagged and questions regarding fitness for employment, etc come into the mix. If I was a boss and an employee of mine wasn't making it to work due to reasons such as yours, then to be perfectly honest, I'd be annoyed. Your boss should however appreciate that diabetes is a total nightmare condition and isn't just as simple as taking injections and functioning the same as a healthy individual. You need to ascertain why these hypos are happening in order to prevent them. Once you prevent these events, not only will you improve your standard of living - you'll also eliminate any worries you have about retaining your job. If you're unable to determine why you're experiencing the severe lows that you are, please seek the advice of your DSN or Dr. Try not to worry! The important thing is that you get these hypos sorted out. Good luck, Grant [/QUOTE]
