[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1572603, member: 68789"] Hi Catsymoo, I agree with Juicyj, everything should be easier to manage with an awareness of the regulations regarding diabetes and employment, and if your DSN helps you to gain some control over your blood sugars. Wildly swinging blood sugars will affect mood, and every instance when a low impacts on your ability to work will increase anxiety. Removing just one source of anxiety should also help your control; as you know, adrenaline has a direct effect on blood sugars. And your hypo reactions sound horrid, poor you! It sounds as though you'll need to be very clear about the nature of your work when you see the DSN so that they'll be able to tailor advice to the unusual pattern of your typical day. However, it also appears that you may be coping better than you fear since you were able to undertake the work in the Channel Islands. It's said that moving house and changing jobs are among the most stressful things we can do. There are a few other items on the list too, but they can be ignored. Talking of lists, with all the bills, paperwork etc do you make them? I know people sometimes laugh at those who have lists of things to do but it can really help create a sense of control. It's even nicer when you can tick an item off! And housework: why? As long as nothing's going mouldy and strange forms of life haven't moved in, then cut yourself some slack. Enough in the cupboards to eat (there are even ready meals and stuff in tins that are reasonably well balanced and whoopie, they have carb content listed), clean dishes, clothes and bedding (no need to iron duvet covers) should be sufficient to get you through while you get everything else into place. Good luck, hope things get better for you soon. [/QUOTE]
