Hassles and Headaches of living with diabetes
This Discussion Forum is for discussion of the emotional side of diabetes: the hassles, the headaches, and to give you a chance to share your frustrations (and to realize you’re not alone!).
Readers of these comments should realize that diabetes is a serious disease that can cause people to have strong emotional reactions. If you are upset about some aspect of having diabetes, please discuss your concerns with your physician. If for any reason you are uncomfortable with talking to your physician, find another person (such as a diabetes nurse educator, social worker, clergyperson, or family member) and discuss your concerns with them.

TimSlim, I’m thinking again about job discrimination. If it wasn’t a big problem when you wrote this post, I’m sure it is now. I don’t know about other parts of the country, but this economy is wreaking havoc on not just individuals but companies and workplaces. If the policy is not to discriminate, it isn’t the practice. This is happening in subtle ways everywhere. Money is tight and employers are not perfect. Guess that’s enough said.
