I am due to go on the Dafne course next month
Lately my Diabetes has been in very poor control this is due to my work i am constantly tired lethargic blood sugars are either very high or drop very low
I only work 40 hours per week i have 2 jobs (personal trainer and door supervisor) and the hours are all over the place for example
Tues 6.45am-12.30 then back in 6.30pm-8.30pm
Thursday 2pm-9pm
Friday 2pm-8pm then my weekend job straight after 9pm-1-30am
Saturday 6pm-1.30am
Sunday 9am-2pm then night time job 9pm-12.30am
On my days off i have my daughter she is 2 years old so no rest haha :D
Anyway i want to drop the Sunday 9am-2pm shift and i dont know how to go about it?
Also could they fire me?

Hopefully the DAFNE course should go a long way in helping you better understand your diabetes and gain that control that has eluded you lately.

Try speaking with your employer and explain that you need to reduce your working hours due to family commitments, if they refuse then you could seek guidance from The Citizens Advice or a Trade Union Rep if your member.
