— -- Question: How will I be able to treat my diabetes at work?

Answer: So people that have diabetes often have to check their blood glucose, take their medications such as pills or insulin while they're at work. This can usually be done very easily as there are many ways to conveniently carry both the blood glucose monitoring equipment and the medications that one takes.

Often patients do this very discretely and take their insulin injections just prior to eating or checking their blood glucose just prior to eating. And this way, it doesn't interfere with one's work performance.
