Just thought I'd post this because it's quite revealing. I worked for 28 years in the public sector and took a package at the end of 2013 under their early exit scheme. I've now been home since December and my blood sugars, for the first time in a long while, are never erratic and hardly ever go over 9. I knew I was always getting stressed out about work and worried about this that and the other, deadlines etc, but I had no idea quite how much affect it had on my blood sugars. Now that I am fully chilled out my blood sugars are amazing so the affect stress had on me and how it affected my diabetes is clear. (My DSN joked with me that if I was at home I'd worry more about my diabetes - but she was wrong!!)
Downside is, at 48, my hubby and I agreed that I would need a part-time job (circa 15-20hrs) but at least I hope it will be low key and hopefully something that I enjoy a bit more than budgets!! I'm just sending off my CV to our local golf club for an admin clerk. Who knows, I may pick up my golf clubs again and get fit into the bargain.
