[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2282870, member: 68789"] Good morning Karen, good morning all. I’m sorry your roller-coaster first few months has cost you your job [USER=519463]@Xal[/USER], and I too hope you’ll find another one soon, one that’s more accommodating to your need to work when you’re able to. If it’s any consolation, Universities are taking a big COVID hit; there will be fewer staff doing more intensive jobs as they try to cope with the double whammy of increased student numbers and mounting debts. Lots of students who hoped to be on work placement will be returning and the business style of semi-privatisation, plus locked in, circumscribed borrowing has led to increases in student places. The large classes in some places will be very hard to divide into smaller ‘safe’ groups with enough staff and time to teach each group. The people I know who work in Universities are dreading next year. I find it very very sad, so many of the skills covered in Universities are important, and we need them: medicine, science, engineering, languages . . ., but the teaching of them is being made really difficult. With regard to your blood sugar control, have you contacted the team who are looking after your T1, did they give any useful advice? I certainly remember being up and down when I was first diagnosed. I was on a basal that had set peaks at meal times, and was a student with a ‘carefree’ lifestyle who had insufficient knowledge to calculate carbs. Maybe I was also in a honeymoon period. I can’t remember the term being used back then. It certainly made things ‘interesting’. [/QUOTE]
