[QUOTE="loafhead, post: 1239373, member: 25824"] Glucogel is all you need to treat a hypo and is available on prescription. You can also ask a diabetic specialist nurse or dietition at the diabetic clinic and they will have some to give to you. Failing that and due to your budgeting buy a 1kg bag of sugar (approx £1)and and eat 3-5 tea spoons to cure a hypo. Regards the job, they cant stop you treating a hypo or testing as that is dangerous and discrimination. I do not understand your need/desire to exercise whilst working (it is not needed for good control, in work and sounds like you get exercise walking for public transport) it sounds more like you need to speak to the diabetic nurse about getting better control and having less peaks and troffs with high and lows. When I was your age (10 years ago) I have had shift job with lifting/shifting things, driving a truck in a factory, jobs where I run around on feet all day and all are manageable as a t1. Don't let diabeties block you doing anything or anyjob (expect the armed forces) Good luck with the job search but my mainly advice would be get the control together first, which makes you less of a "risk" to an employer or less chance of sick days just days for scheduled medical time off.
