Hi everyone. So I lodged an appeal and during the meeting I let them know I had taken advice from ACAS and wanted to also lodge an informal grievance. The meeting went well and I feel they listened to me. I also provided some info about the many things that affect control etc. Outcome was the...

I'm going to appeal the decision as the sickness policy says there was other decisions they could have made. I will speak to the helpline and also join a union to get a rep to help me too. I'm not taking this lying down. I love my job...

Yes, I have been referred to occ health 3 times in the nearly 7 years I've worked there. They have replied to say that I will be Ill more often than others and to make reasonable adjustments. I think I will have to find a union rep. I've never felt the need for a union till now as I work for a...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I have just been placed on a final written warning by my workplace of 7 years due to my sickness. As we all know being type 1 affects us with getting Ill and it takes longer to recover etc and although none of my sickness has been directly due to my diabetes it...

Thanks for the advice. I'm on lantus... A pump has been discussed but I have to do the Dapne course first before they will consider it. I'm due an appointment so will ask about Tresiba too. [emoji3526]

Netflix fatigue [emoji106][emoji1787] yup I got that too ha ha

Last night was still showing positive.... I also looked this up and was my understanding that lft can show positive for up to 90 days after but that you are not usually infectious after 10 days? It's so complicated!!! [emoji40][emoji53]

Oh that sounds awful. Hope you are starting to feel better x

Thanks, the headache is just a killer. Hope your son is better now! I think I'll give my gp a call first thing unless I miraculously feel better. My estimated hba1c on my libre has not been great for about 2 months now so maybe it's just taking me longer to fight it because of that...[emoji17]

I've been told that If you don't eat for long periods you can get ketone so that could be the cause. Hope you feel better soon.
