Is stress causing you problems?

I've noticed that a few posters are complaining about workplace stress. We know that stress affects blood glucose readings.

This test might help you decide that you are not coping and includes some useful guidance and links to further information.

That's quite a good little test.
The outcome of my results are interesting - they pretty much match a list that I wrote about 2 hours ago of what I need to do to be less stressed out at work.

I had a bad, bad, bad day at work today, and the beauty to that is that tomorrow could actually be worse! Had I not been bloody diabetic I would be opting for a nice big bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk Caramel.

useful link- thanks.

Must confess, though, that for me avoiding stress at work is near impossible without meditation or similar. See, I am an Aspie as well as a diabetic- and have almost no peripheral vision left through laser surgery...

Add hot desking to that mix, and you have a bit of a recipe to guarantee stress!

Ach, enough whinging... I'm lucky to be working at all (worked in a job centre for a couple of years, so I really DO know how lucky I am) and even luckier to have a good wife. Which is what I focus on, in my bad days!
