[QUOTE="SWUSA_, post: 1332732, member: 337910"] I think its a valid rant- I care for someone (my mother) alone and share some of your concerns-I have to say though that you must take your breaks to check blood glucose, take insulin, and food if you need to, to maintain your glucose at stable levels. No one but yourself will suffer if you do not (and possibly your family-you did not mention them but I assume that you have one.) I envy your being able to move about as much as you need to though-with caregiving you are bound by the needs of the person you are caring for. We can not be perfect, but we can take advantage of every break to make sure we are as healthy as we can be. I think that they may not improve conditions if you did have an accident at work-they may just not understand what you need-that is why you have to take advantage of every chance to take care of yourself. It is much easier to defend taking breaks that you are supposed to have than proving to them that your accident was the result of conditions that were not conductive to dealing well with your Diabetes. You also will be the one to deal with any disabilities that come as a result of injury-I know, I was injured at work several times in my 45 year work history. I have gouty arthritis as well as Diabetes. I wish you good health and happiness in knowing that you have done as well as you were able to.;) [/QUOTE]
