Wyche replied to Khürt Williams's discussion 'Diabetes and Job interviews'"The job market is really rough right now. I worked as a nurse on a med/surg unit for over 20 years and for the last 5 years or so NEVER took a break to eat. I was too busy taking care of patients, paperwork, orders, etc. Plus the majority of nurses…"
christy replied to Khürt Williams's discussion 'Diabetes and Job interviews'"I agree that interview sets the tone and most often than not if there are problems at the interview level, that seems to carry over into the employment area as well. I would not set the tone of a potential interview by saying its not a convenient…"

excellent comments and lessons. Thank you for feedback.
Unfortunately, excuses and immediate need to make accomodations at the interview level seem to indicate a problem no matter how valid.

Diabetes Alert Day.
Posted on March 24, 2009 at 7:03am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Received an internal email from the matabolic research side of the company promoting Diabetes Alert Day in collaboration with the ADA. I think it totally misses the opportunity to bring aware to the different types of diabetes. As a Type 1 I get the ignorant "you got to exercise and lower your blood pressure' comments. People sometimes ignore the rather thin 140lb, 5ft 4in, human being standing in front of them.

jrtpup said… Our Annual Campaign is coming!
Would you consider helping by writing a short comment/testimonial about your
experiences at TuD? The main message for the campaign this year is that no
one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
(http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/why-i-participate-in-this-community), or message to me from my page.Thanks my friends!

Hello there Khürt! Thank you for having me as a friend!
New Jersey....a distance away, but it feels like you're right here! That's one of the appealing factors of tu.diabetes. I'm in Canada...in the southwestern part of the province of Ontario...a city named Kitchener-Waterloo (2 cities joined together). I'm a wife of 33 years (hubby is also diabetic), mom to two grown children (one 28, the other 26), a grandma to 3 lovable little boys, a teacher, and before that an illustrator (still do some) and graphic designer....I speak French fluently, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, sing, walk, garden, ski, ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I love having friends over, I volunteer here there and everywhere, I bake/cook, am an eclectic music lover, an animal lover...the ocean...ah the ocean...it speaks to me! Oh...and I have diabetes (and a few other things).
Nice to have you as a friend!!! Tell me a bit about yourself!
Keep in touch, ok?
be well....linda
