[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1645455, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=303754]@snowleopard[/USER] I don't regard my T1 as a disability at all, however 6 months after I was diagnosed I did have to give up my previous job in sales as I was unable to cope mentally with the challenges I faced in managing my T1 as well, I had a number of incidents when in a client meetings that had run over I was running hypo and of course trying to close a sale at the same time, which caused me great embarrassment and mean't I lost the business as a result - as I was career driven it contributed to depression and my BG levels were unstable, something I couldn't sustain whilst being a parent so a career change was necessary. You cannot judge someone's circumstances based on headline news when you haven't walked in their shoes. [/QUOTE]
