[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 887009, member: 32108"] Hi, and welcome to the forum! You've said some interesting things here: [LIST] [*]Smoking isn't good for diabetes, or for anyone. Maybe you'd consider vapping as a way to stop altogether? Sorry if this is not a welcome idea for you. [*]Your comments on fag and toilet breaks and getting back to work quickly, and the sense you have that colleagues think you are using your diabetes as a wheeze to get a break, shows that you are under a lot of pressure at work. I recognise it and I used to put work before diabetes myself. The trouble is that diabetes won't be put on the back foot, a person with diabetes has to look after him/her self. So maybe you can get the opportunity to tell colleagues or a manager how you have to manage your diabetes. This is difficult at the moment because you are recently diagnosed and it's all new to you as well. You will be able to decide better on your priorities when you have been on the T1DE course. [*]Meanwhile, although your job is important to you, try to find some time in the day to relax, because being stressed can raise your blood sugar levels. If you can find time, some exercise and relaxation would really help you. [*]Many, but by no means all, T1s use a pump, but you don't have to go down this road, so don't stress about that. [*]I know what you mean about not having the time to keep a record of your meals. However, you will find, if you do decide to use an app, that recording meals gets easy quite quickly as you build up your database of favourite foods/meals. If you can get started on carb counting, you will be ahead of the game when you do your course. [/LIST] Again, welcome, and keep checking in to the forum, because there are lots of people on here able and willing to help. :) [/QUOTE]
