[QUOTE="mrman, post: 1008505, member: 40510"] Whilst I agree with the sentiment of above posters that it is not an excuse to be late, I feel some of above comments are quite harsh. 6 - 12 months before my diagnosis I was off work a fair bit and late or just on time regularly. I explained to boss I wasn't feeling right, sometimes worse than others, and had been making regular visits to the doctors wanting some answers. Tested each time for numerous things other than diabetes. Wasn't until my last visit where I had been vomiting, was physically shaking, and had lost about 2 stone I got my diagnosis. Even then after the surgery visit I had to chase them for results of analysis of blood and urine from hospital to be told I was in dka. 30 minutes later I would of been none the wiser about anything and surgery would of been closed. Luckily, and thankfully my employer had much patience otherwise I would of lost my job due to being not yet diagnosed. Since diagnosis and gaining control of things, I am rarely late and not had any absences. I would urge the poster to see their doctor and have relevant tests such as blood sugar,iron,vit d and any others relating to symptoms. I used to tell people im really tired and often told numerous things [/QUOTE]
