How do you find work life and diabetes life balance? Have you faced any challenges, or support?
My place of work is so supportive! I couldn't ask for more! Lucozade and Haribo are supplied in the staff room just for me, a fridge was bought to store spare insulin and a glucagon, and all members of the team have been taught about type 1 and how to help me if i need it.
Saying that, in years gone by i have faced discrimination in the work place, and even found it difficult to get a job. I was once told in an interview ''we aren't looking for someone with, your.... Condition''
Comment below, we'd love to hear your stories! (Both good and bad!)
