Hi guys,
I haven't posted on here in a while and I think it's mainly because I haven't been taking my diabetes seriously for a long time but have had a bit of a reality check when I got my latest eye screening results back - They said I have background retinopathy and so I really need to control my levels better.
I have one thing that I find very difficult in the fact I have to drive a lot for my job - So in the past I have been letting my levels run slightly higher so that I knew I would be able to drive when I needed to (I know that is awful but as I said, I hadn't been taking things as seriously as I should have been).
I obviously don't want to do this any more as it isn't good! But does anyone have any advice for me with driving? Or does anyone else have a similar situation?
I wouldn't drive if I was low because I know all of the guidelines, but I also don't want to be high anymore.. I'd really appreciate any tips or help - Thank you so much for listening!
Jessica
