[QUOTE="Lulu9101112, post: 2212688, member: 409636"] So I was volunteering earlier today in a doggy daycare. It started of fine later on and involves a lot of hoovering sweeping mopping etc... like 1 hour before I finished I could tell I was sweating even though it wasn’t warm. (Were in different area so I went to test). The staff member who was team leader at the time was trying to find me and did. I just told him I needed to check my levels which is why he stopped as I’m diabetic and then he went off asked if i needed anything I said no because i have everything I need. He went back to his work. Later on he came back asking if I was ok again. I just explained my blood was low and I needed to wait till It goes back up to continue which would take 15 mins at least. He then asked jf j could do anything. I said no because jf I keep doing things that is lie excersize which includes cleaning it could cause it to drop lower. He then left me alone and came backs in 20 mins an then by that point I was able to continue as my sugar had gone back up. Thing is it’s like he wasn’t aware of my diabeties I guess the owner never passed the message to staff or they forgot because I’ve never had to stop to check before I guess after explaining sort off he finally understood I just got annoyed when he kept asking me to do things when I just couldn’t due to my blood being low as it would be to risky for everyone including the dogs. just my opinion do you think I should email them to explain again.
