Re: Managing Diabetes, there was a lad at work who was quite open about not bothering to check his bloods regularly.
He had an episode and called his girlfriend in a confused state, all they could work out was he was in his work van, stuck in a ditch/verge in a car park somewhere. His girlfriend called work, who sent people out to look for him. They eventually found him after following the scrape marks left by three wheel rims for miles, he didn’t have a clue where he was and the van had taken a beating.
His job was on the line for several months, he wasn’t allowed to drive (which is a problem when your office is your van/workshop) and driving was a condition of employment so he was in limbo all that time. I think he had a very understanding boss as it took some time for him to sort himself out…
