[QUOTE="IZ THE LEG END, post: 1097133, member: 195751"] Your quite right in what you say that everyone is different... Maybe I'm a special case... I have my routine for basal 8am and 8pm plus my oral meds throughout the day... I work internationally at very short notice, one minute I'm packing the shopping in Asda (other retailers available!) the next I'm dumping my shopping and on my way to the airport... My shifts/rotations/off duty are never set in stone... Due to the travelling I often have timezone changes and depending on where and what I'm sent to do my role varies dramatically from one minute being sat with a laptop programming a machine to next abseiling 150ft to carry out maintenance... In what can only be described as one of the most dangerous environments to work in... For me I do NOT adapt my routine for my work or social life I just make it work, for me it sometimes means a little more testing during the day but if that enables me to manage a more stable level then so be it... I don't understand why anyone should have to make huge changes if any to their working day/night... I'm 1,000,000% happy with my job and I would absolutely devastated to lose my job because of diabetes and there is no way I would let it... I see it as a challenge for not just me but my work life, training whatever, for me these come first and I will do whatever it takes for them to not effect them as far as possible... I can't really answer with respect to your partner as I am not in that situation so wouldn't like to comment... But as you say we're all different and we all deal with these things in our own way... I hope you find the answers you need from work... Izzy [/QUOTE]
