Hi All,
At 45 (23 years in teaching) this lockdown has proven clearly that my job (full time primary teacher) is not conducive to achieving my best BG control. Are there any others out there in the same position?
It’s not that my usual control is bad, but these few weeks have been so much better. I’m questioning whether I should be thinking about a different career for my next 20 or so years, or whether I could leave teaching with an ill health retirement? I’m a positive person but I don’t want to retire in the future and then find I am too ill to enjoy retirement. Life expectancy is realistically a bit less for us diabetics, and the stress of my job causes all sorts of issues anyway.
Has anyone else been in the same boat? Advice gratefully received!
