how to manage job with diabetes type 1 ?

Hi Everyone,

I know here so many people who are managing their diabetics and every day jobs very well. I am software engineer having 9 years work experience from India. I have to work minimum 9 to 10 hrs for US or UK client timing. After getting diabetes type 1, I feel very difficult to sit for long time and don't get so much concentration in work.

Could you provide some tips to mange my jobs ? I am tacking the diabetics treatment from 1 months, it is under control.

Try to get your levels under control while at work. It will help you with tiredness and concentration. If your working day looks more or less the same each day it shouldn't be too difficult. Have meals at the same time as routine makes diabetic life much easier. As you are not very physically active during your working hours choose your meals carefully. I would recommend something low carb so it wont spike you too much. Good luck You are still very new to T1 life and it takes a bit of practice

My tips are to test lots and to keep hypo treatments near. Sometimes, even if you have a job where you're sitting down a lot, I find mental activity can make you low.
