[QUOTE="RoseShiel, post: 2145490, member: 498843"] I'm trying to find the right balance for me to be able to work full time but to say I'm struggling is a understatement. I got diagnosed at xmas so still new to this type 1 stuff. But I'm getting there. However it seems any job I do just wipes the **** out of me. I do over 30 hours a week over 5 days and it seems when it comes to week 3-4 i just crash and I'm exhausted, I'm fighting heart disease aswell as type 1. I started the job I'm at in june and i had 2 bad hypos there, 2 weeks off cause of extreme high blood sugars and I've had infection after infection, this job is so faced paced and is 9 hour shifts at a time, I think there getting fed up with how sick I am and how much time I've had off cause of this. So now I feel like I'm just over reacting about this. But come on type 1s let's be honest I'm not over reacting here. I am struggling so much and I just dont no what to do. I need to work full time so me and my partner can live, eat and so on, although hes full time too. I've truly had enough, what do I do? [/QUOTE]
