Okay so I'm 17 and doing an apprenticeship. I just had a hypo at work and ended up feeling quite ill and sleepy as everyone knows. I had sugar and my levels were back to normal (7.8) but work have just sent me home because I had a hypo and there was no management to "watch out for me" even though I said I was fine and able to work I apparently have no choice because I'm not 18.
I feel so upset that I had no say in whether I thought I was well enough to work because of my age. And just because people are scared when they see how a diabetic acts when thy are hypo.
Do I have no rights?? Anyone else experienced this before??
