Hi all,
I am due to go back to work on 2nd Jan after having 2 weeks off after diagnosis. I spent most of the first week in hospital and have been at home since. My BG readings vary from 13-22mmol/l still and I feel exhausted every day with constant headaches and slight blurred vision. I don't know if I should be going back yet as I have a very stressful and active job, pushing patients to and from theatre throughout a 13 hour shift. I would feel so guilty taking more time off, so was wondering how long you all took off work post diagnosis?
Thanks,
