I would just abide the rules of the company - in appearance (you gotta do whatcha gotta do - just don't broadcast it). If/when you need something, don't be blatant about your "fix" of the low that occurs. Just manage it like anyone else. I never let anyone know anything - not in 33 years. It is my problem and I don't expect anyone else to handle it for me. If/when I am gone to a very low hypo - well, then it may become someone else's problem. That has only happened at home, at night, so far... except for this incident...

One time I was hiking Long's Peak - a 14,000 ft peak in Colorado. I was thru the keyhole just below the summit and stopped and ate as much of my trail mix as I could get into me - in a hurry. Many other hikers passed by - I didn't feel like trying to make the summit, as I was feeling a bit frightened about the reality that I was in a condition that I could have fallen off the edge where I was resting and gobbled food - OOPS!!. That was 28 years ago - still here to tell the story, thankfully. I told nobody. I merely handled it as well as I could. Wonderful insulins those days - beef/pork lente... ahh... and testape.

Today - sometimes in the morning when I get to work, I see the white spots of death - low approaching. I break away from what I am doing and put some sugar in my coffee and be calm. White spots disappear, and then I can eat some more healthy food to assist in bringing the low back to where I need to be for working in an office.

Keep any "fix" needed hidden from the super. Don't push the issue - it isn't worth all the hassle you may cause yourself. If you don't like the rules - the super is correct - find a different place to earn money. Sure, the laws are on your side - you think. Test them - and you will find out, the rules are written for the people who own the money and do you no good in the end. Stay inside the rules - don't be testy with them.

Im sorry dan but if we all took your attitude nothing would ever get accomplished and we would still be living in the dark ages !!! Let me ask dan are you a supervisor for a company ? you sound like someone who is afraid to speak up at where you work . I m sorry but I am italian and irish and I learned long ago ,if you dont knock some doors down ,they dont come down . The only reason we have rights as employees is because someone else was not afraid to speak up and change things . The squeeky wheel gets the grease so to speak . Make noise that is the only way you will get heard .
