Hi all sorry for Late Reply internet problems .... Well the issues started 3 years ago i was hypo 3-4 times aweek it got so bad i had to quit work. Since then im living on £300 a month a diabetic cant survive and pay bills on that alone the goverment dont seem to care for my well being. Ive recently spoke to my goverment and i explained to them you either help or ill hold them responsible for my death. They Suggested to Claim the long term Sick and get a Sick note off my Dr this means i will Recieve more money, and i said im a Worker not Lazy. My body has been through so much im Scared now of collapsing in the street feels like im no longer safe at all
Chris - I commend you for wanting to take your place in the community and the economy by seeking work, however, from what you write, right now, that may not be practical, whilst you have all these issues.
I'm sure the suggestion of a sock note didn't appeal, but it is likely right now, if you were working, you might need to be signed off for a while, to get sorted out.
Sometimes a solution isn't palatable, but sometimes it is a means to an end.
Please do consider asking your Diabetes Team for help with your hypo-unawareness. We have members here on the forum who have had some fabulous technology sponsored by the NHS to help out with exactly that, although in all cases I can think of, they did have some hoops to jump through on the way to that.
In getting better, you have your part to play, and sometimes "the system" feels like game-playing, but those inside "the system" are just as bound by red-tape as we are.
My thoughts would be to reconsider two things:
Firstly engaging with your Diabetes Team, urgently
Secondly, speaking with your Doctor about your longer term well-being, and putting in place aplan to move forward.
With a strong work ethic, I'm sure there's a job out there for you, but you need to be in a fit state to do it.
Good luck with it all. Unfortunately, many health related things aren't quick fixes.
