- Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
I was diagnosed 6 years ago and was a Business Development Manager, but found after diagnosis that I struggled with keeping my bg levels in check and was having hypos whilst in client meetings, it left my confidence dented and of course it affected my performance. I now do a finance role so am office based which is better for my blood glucose levels, but I loved my old career so of course miss it. After a hypo this morning (which is sometimes where my mind seems to race more) I thought about other adults diagnosed with type 1 and how they have coped and what lifestyle changes they needed to make. I know I hear repeatedly that we shouldn't let t1 affect our lives, but in some cases it can and it does, regardless of how small, how has your life changed since diagnosis ?
