Teachers with Diabetes

This is a group for those of us who are teachers and have diabetes. It is sometimes difficult to take care of yourself when you have thirty or so students in front of you!

It's only THIS year that I have a 15 min. break after my first class of the morning, and one in the afternoon at 1:30. Last year all I had was my lunch break of 3/4 hour...which I still have. As well I no lunger do lunch supervision...nor do yard dutie. The yard dutie in extreme cold...and sweltering smoggy heat were brutal, due to diabetes as well as asthma and Raynaud. I sucked it up for 7 years!! I'm now in my 9th!

Brings back BAD memories of when I was very symptomatic, but had not yet received adequate treatment -- spent the last 15 minutes of class with my legs crossed, hoping I would not have an accident, and then RUNNING out ahead of the kids to get to the restroom, and then running back to my classroom hoping to beat the bell for the next class. It was agony! I really wish teachers were allowed to be human!!!!

Hmm... Everyone knows that teachers never need to use a washroom. :)

Oh boy, this is sounding like a staff room when the weather is nasty and everyone is enjoying indoor recesses. :)
