[QUOTE="M80, post: 1492636, member: 348697"] What do you want to do? Prioritise your health, remind them that you are better because you are having a more settled routine and this is risky changing. Some diabetics just are better with routine. I am starting work again in a shop soon after three years away (as a mum), and shop work is always very hectic and unpredictable even within set hours. I am very happy this time with the Libre I can scan rather than test, so that is progress. I worry about hypos. They are not ever bad, but how do you in the middle of serving a customer deal with a bs going down.Dextrose are not practical in that setting. Chewing dry tablets.Gel? What can be discreet. It is different to work in a shop versus fex officework. Even if it is in theory ok to say sorry, have to fix this, to the customer and everybody else, it is not a situation that is comfortable especially in a new job. I just think, they do not understand, you need to think of the whole life situation. If you want to do more at work, yes, go for it, do what you can to help get to that in a good way.Change to a pump, get a libre fex.But if you feel happy with less responsibility and set hours, and your health and bs is better,others have to learn your skills and do it. Sometimes actually a choice that maybe is not moving your career forward can be the right choice for other reasons. [/QUOTE]
