My life changed this week. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Fasting bs in the 400s My doctor is wonderful....started on metformin, up to 1000 mg today.
My fasting was 256 this AM...and I am struggling to get it into normal range. BTW, I have had my days off during this. My questions are:
1. Should I return to work with high blood sugars? I noticed I had a headache, felt tired and grumpy the last several shifts I worked before I was diagnosed.
2. How does one manage this while working on a hectic Med/Surg Tele unit, working 7 PM to 7 AM 3 nights/week?
Thanks in advance for your advice. :bowingpur
