[QUOTE="cassie091, post: 2146072, member: 35025"] You have a heck of a lot to cope with - T1D plus a heart problem. To try to ensure you do not have debilitating hypos I suggest you ask for a Freestyle Libre, if you don't already have one, as it is much easier to test your BG levels. No need to stop and do a finger prick test. I also suggest testing BGs every hour to try to ensure your BGs are not becoming too low. Become aware of the symptoms of a low BG. This varies between individuals and over time. I've had type 1 for over 60 years and now have a dodgy aortic valve that needs replacing. This means I tire very quickly especially if doing anything requiring physical effort despite the numerous tablets I now have to consume. So maybe it's the heart problem rather than diabetes that is making you feel so exhausted. I agree that you should talk to HR to see what can be done to reduce your stress levels at work. Companies have a responsibility to consider the health of their employees and to enable them, as far as possible, to safely manage any medical condition they may have. [/QUOTE]
