Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="evj95" data-source="post: 1572165" data-attributes="member: 434447">Similar to you I also work in a grocery store and I have found that whilst at work it is one of the few times where my bg's have acted properly for some weird reason. So I have found that I do not need to be eating to keep them steady at all. I suggest at the moment to be continuing how you were before diagnosis at work and if you have been supplied with testing equipment to just take a quick five minute break to see if you are alright. (Maybe a little harder if you are unable to test as I know T2's often aren't supplied this) After about a week this will allow you to know what is and what isn't working for you, then just start playing around until you find a strategy that works. Also have a chat at work to find out if they are other diabetics or family of diabetics as I have been given some of the best insight by those that have been in this game way more than me. Also make sure your mangers understand your condition and then you will not feel bad for leaving the shop floor in a hurry if needed. This part was easy for me as I have a few of my managers on fb and they found out my diagnosis just a few hours after I did through me and family posting status' - this actually made me feel a lot better about going to work as I didn't have to inform all management by myself one at a time and like usual there is always a grapevine so within two days near enough the whole staff knew.</blockquote>
