[QUOTE="madness, post: 95684, member: 6931"] its all so confusing, I feel upset that the reccomendations that were made by occ health last year are being questioned again. nothing has changed. They agreed to me being allowed to attend hospital appointments. I was not asked to produce letters, so far it has only been inferred, and am not going to offer to help until they ask for these things in writing. I went for the appointment, but feel that this wont make a difference, the occ health doctor told me to be careful, this is all very stressful, my blood pressure is on the rise and my BG gets higher as I get more stressed. i just want to go to work and be left alone, my bofriend commited suicide 5yrs ago, I got made redundant, lost my flat, got diabetes and have been trying to pick up the pieces of my life. i had hoped that his would be a clean break, I have been honest from the outset and I find myself back down the same road. I now understand why alot of diabetics are angry and miserable, you get pushed around and looked down upon by some in the medical profession for not controlling sugars, and employers pretend to understand but they have no idea. I feel like giving up work and going on benefits, but I cant get any of the disability benefits, so I am forced to stay working and am not being allowed to do my job without the extra hassle.
