We are very proud to be a part of this Fun filled Blogfest sponsored by WEGO Health. This isn't our first #HAWMC, and we thank WEGO Health for giving us a perfect opportunity to share.

Today’s prompt is “ Off to work! What advice would you give to those on the job search? How do you juggle your job and a chronic illness? Any tips for the interview?”

Going to be short and sweet (and no, sugar doesn’t cause diabetes).

The biggest and most important piece of advice would be to ensure you LOVE whatever you do. That being said, that makes my ‘Job’ of trying to be another cog in the machine that tries and educate and inform those who live with diabetes, difficult because I do not like having to be the one that worries and understands this disease is a silent killer, anytime anyday.

I do not have worry about how to juggle my job and a chronic illness as it is one in the same.

The tip I have to offer is clear.  When juggling a job and a chronic illness, juggle what ails you and THEN, and only then, fit the ‘job’ into the equation.

Off to ‘work’ and I love it. And by the way my job is doing exactly what I am doing right this moment.

Stay tuned for the REAL deal from my partner in crime and Blue Heel Society Chief Content Officer Jen Loving, as she is on deck to share her magic very soon.

Enjoy...
