[QUOTE="Becca6510, post: 2067310, member: 78361"] Hi all!! So I’ve been approved for a pump and I’m so happy but I got super anxious today when they told me that I’d need a week off work with the appointments to set up the pump and educate etc. Now I started my new job at the end of Feb so it’s still quite new. However I’ve had a period of ill health recently and seem to always be asking time for appointments And they’ve been dead nice and supportive and have just let me go not making me make up the time... however I’m scared that asking for a week off for this is going to push them too far! I’ve previously had some bad managers who aren’t understanding, but I don’t want to take the mick. I don’t particularly want to have to take my own annual leave for this as it’s going to be me travelling 40 mins to the appointment twice a day and the nurse said there’s a lot of fasting involved and waking in the night. What would you all do? Just ask anyway or take it as my own leave? I hate that my diabetes makes me feel such a burden to an employee. Feel like they’re regretting ever taking me on![emoji17] [/QUOTE]
