Message: <blockquote data-quote="DapherCake" data-source="post: 2074505" data-attributes="member: 445014">Hello, I am a type 1 diabetic and have been for over 13 years. I got a new job in January and I quickly realised it is a very high stress environment with little support and care from the management time, but a job is a job right? Due to the stress of the job my blood sugar levels have been higher then normal, some days I have zero control and this has obviously lead to some serious illnesses. In the past 5 months I have taken 3 days off due to high blood sugar and not being able to bring it down. My manager is now making me attend a attendance meeting, it's pretty serious .. it could end in a written warning. I have explained the seriousness of high blood sugar to my boss and explained what could happen if I work with high blood sugar but he doesn't care. Is it possible to ask my Doctor for a letter to my boss, reassurance to give to my boss during the meeting that high blood sugar is very dangerous and requires full attentions (I'm talking levels at 24-28 for hours). Shall I get someone leaflets from the hospital to give in? Is there anything I can do?Thanks.Jessica.</blockquote>
