Are you not able to carry some dextrose tablets, jelly babies, etc in your pocket - and treat your hypo on the go?I'm not teaching you to suck eggs, so please don't think that I am! But you shouldn't need to take an early break because of a hypo.Also, it may be worth reconsidering how much bolus insulin you take with your breakfast if you find yourself having regular hypos at similar times in the morning. If it's not that, then I'd look at your basal insulin. If you're on a pump, then you may want to adjust your basal rate for this time in the morning.Either way, your manager should be understanding of your condition. It's very easy for a non-diabetic to judge - but the truth is - they have no idea what it's like... But, if I had an employee who was needing to take early breaks on a semi-regular basis, then I'd be a bit frustrated.
