Hi, I'm new to this forum...have been up all night worrying and so thought I'd see what I can find online!
So...I've been working "full time" but my blood sugars are constantly up and down so I end up having alot of time off of work, and I'm also having hospital appointments every couple of weeks to look at the food diaries I'm doing to try and solve the problems...but it has come to the point where 6 out of 7 days I can't work due to feeling unwell because of my blood sugars. I'm also having really bad hypos at night where I'm not really conscious of anything that is going on..I can just about wake up and tell my partner I'm having a hypo..then can't remember anything from there on! Which also means I am then too tired to work the next day. I'm not really sure what to do about work? I also have a trial shift at a new job but due to incidents at my previous job (will post in another topic!) I am now becoming extremely anxious about my blood sugars dropping and me having a hypo at work or having to have days off sick and that this will always affect my employment and have basically become very down about the whole situation! I can't afford not to work (of course nobody can!) and am now worried I am going to lose my house, car ect. because I cannot work! It's very frustrating and am just wondering if anyone could give me any advice?!
Would be very much appreciated
Thanks!
