I was a teacher for the past 18 years with type 1 and I worked abroad in Hong Kong. so as you can imagine I had a lot to cope with as well . the main thing is to be a little bit selfish and insist on me time. I didn't and often ran high all day until I whet home and late at night tested none to often . you really need to take the time for yourself and talk to your staff members . they will understand and help you cover pupil meetings and problems as they occur. the last school I had were very good especially as my health deteriorated. don't do too much or feel you have to do it alone the children also like to know what's going on health wise with their teacher so sharing is a very good thing to do and they can help spot early hypo signs or your T.A  at least should be aware so they can help you. don't feel it's a weakness to share or ask for help please. I now have only an odd days volunteering day at the local community college and do miss the hustle and bustle of a full day and weeks work but because of the full burn out I am not strong enough to go back to my one love of teaching. I had a good run but miss it . hdragon(known for the loudness of my voice in school)</p></blockquote><p></p>
