If you were having lows on medication it means that you were over-medicated, i.e. you were eating and exercising so well that your body was working and you didn't need as much medication. It's a big balancing act and really need to be monitored every month or so while you are testing a new way of eating and adding exercise. I hope the new doctor is good for you!<br />Enzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960677775063373213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-53438852461601758202019-05-23T05:35:42.604+12:002019-05-23T05:35:42.604+12:00Take time off both jobs if you need it!

As others have suggested above, probably best to let your employer know that you aren't well, and have a few days off to give yourself time to get better quickly - and also prevent the risk of passing on illness to the residents at the rest home. The no sick leave in the first six months generally means you don't get any sick pay for the first six months. Ask your GP for a medical certificate in the morning when you have your appointment to cover the next few days with your employer, so they know that you are genuinely unwell. Get well soon and look after yourself!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670323685547211097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-73081920427311168532019-05-23T01:23:57.971+12:002019-05-23T01:23:57.971+12:00Hope you feel better.
