[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2053789, member: 372717"] OK, that's really unfortunate timing, but it's good both that your manager is nice and that you're working for the NHS. Both of those things should mean that they are sympathetic to your hypos. And it's great that you have people in your team who can help you if you do go hypo. Look at this way, the worst has now happened and you've got support in your office if you need it. I guess the most important thing is to try to avoid having the hypos in the first place (I know you've commented on lots of hypos in the past). Have you lost hypo awareness? You should be in a good position to ask your consultant for a freestyle libre, Honestly, as a T1 for 49 years, I still find hypos the worst part of the illness. Luckily I've only had brief periods of hypo unawareness. In your position I'd be pushing my DSN really hard to get extra help to avoid them, as well as attempting to work out why they happen for you. I think you're OK if you only have [I]one [/I]bad hypo per year.... but I may be out of date. Good luck with the new job, and try not to let the hypos get you down. [/QUOTE]
