I don't know if he gets fmla. He's only part time now that they finally cut his hours back with him still being in school. Also he hasn't been there for a year yet and most places I know require a year of employment. I'm definitely going to look into getting something from his doctor though. I messaged her again about switching his insulin and haven't heard back yet. He's been using Novalog for most of the time since he was diagnosed 4 years ago. He did try admelog once for a couple of months and did fine on that. From what I've read on some of the resources on here, changing his insulin may be the answer. I'm at my wits end! His high alert has been going off all day since he's been at school

I had similar issues with a previous employer. My doctor filled out an Intermittant FMLA for me to give them. This solved the issues. Ask his endo about it!

Your son's health comes first. I will pray that his employers will listen. You are being a good advocate for your son. Keep up the good work.

That was a good reply to the EMT. Now that I am a diabetic, I realize just how much there is to this disease and everyone is different. I get a little perturbed (no, a lot sometimes) when friends ask me, "have you got this thing figured out?" I'm not sure anyone ever figures it out completely. So frustrating.

I've actually had paramedics want to take me to the hospital after a severe low. They told me, "This wasn't a low blood sugar, they're not like that." They only gave me OJ with sugar mixed in it because my mother told them to over the phone - long story!
The juice worked, so what else could it be? I refused to go to the hospital and signed their waiver.
Another time, an EMT told me that I should wear a medical alert. I responded, " You mean like this?," as I pulled my necklace out from around my neck, under my shirt!
