[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1218195, member: 32394"] Absolutely. Life sometimes gets in the way of best practice! They might have just got confused and thought that you absolutely must have insulin all the time and thought that you needed to get it so you don't die. It's a pretty common misconception and generally people don't understand how diabetes works. If you think that might be the case, it sucks that you are in the position where you have to educate, but giving work a bit of an education on diabetes might be the answer. Have a think about it, have a think about maybe having a chat with HR - hopefully whoever decided to send you home will learn something about diabetes. Small admin question - how are you paid? I mean, are you still going to be paid for the morning shift that you were unnecessarily sent home from? [/QUOTE]
