[QUOTE="Catsymoo, post: 2175341, member: 45466"] That's another factor - I am still contagious. I've got yellow rubbish coming out my nose and throat and I feel disgusting where I have had no energy to shower. I've called work today and said I will likely not be in until Monday, and I've called my DSN to request a document that will explain to my employer the dangers of ''basic'' illnesses on some people with diabetes. I know there are some diabetics out there that never have time off and are amazing. Sadly I get ill all the time and my blood sugars are usually always high. If I am not catching things, I usually never feel 100% anyway due to anxiety/hypo anxiety. I have days where I feel nauseated for no reason whatsoever. I am keen to get back to work ASAP because I had an interview last week for a promotion and I haven't been there to hear back, they are telling people on a 1 on 1 basis, so they are gonna have to wait until I am back. But at the same time, I need my sugars to settle and I need to be 100%. I made the mistake last month of going back too early after a UTI and flu, and I had 3 days of hell trying to do admin work because I was too sick to go on the phone. I accidentally got a phonecall through because my seniors did not change my status on the system, and I answered it. And of course that was my quality check for the month and you can hear how drained I am. I scored awful and it has dragged down my work performance a LOT on stats. [/QUOTE]
