[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1075976, member: 211504"] I'm speaking to you from person to person rather than the legality of the situation. I guess my concern is what you hope to accomplish in these 10 weeks you're off. It seems you're waiting for other people to advise you what to do, but there becomes a certain point when you need to take the initiative to learn on your own. Of course, I hope that's part of why you have joined this forum. I think we all take the occasional day off because of something related to diabetes, but I can't see a lot of situations where it makes sense to take months off from work (aside from something serious like an amputation). Even people with DKA are usually back to work within a month and that's a life-threatening diabetic condition. You have to understand that things will get better, but you have to put in the time and effort to learn how to better manage your condition. Time alone will not fix anything. [/QUOTE]
