The crashes. The fear of lows. You pretend to be fine when your body is not. It’s more than just avoiding sugar. It’s managing your body’s full-time job. “In reality it requires constant mental concentration. People with diabetes constantly think about their medication schedules, blood glucose changes, meals, hydration and sleep, stress and physical activity. This can be emotionally draining, especially if you work long hours,” said Dr Pranav, consultant endocrinologist, and diabetologist at Wockhardt hospitals, Mumbai Central. Diabetes can be a challenge in the workplace because symptoms aren’t always obvious. “Someone can appear to be fine while managing fatigue, dizziness and brain fog. They may also be anxious about low sugar episodes or experience sudden energy drops. Dr Ghody explained that there is also pressure on people to “push through” meetings, deadlines or travel, even when their bodies are telling them otherwise. Story continues below this ad. It can happen suddenly and cause sweating, trembling or confusion. It may also lead to irritability or even fainting. Many employees are afraid to discuss it for fear of being perceived as weak or unfit. “Some avoid taking insulin injections in public or checking their glucose levels due to stigma or uncomfortable question from coworkers,” said he. View this post on Instagram Stress in the workplace can also have a direct impact on blood sugar management. “Irregular eating, poor sleep, long periods of sitting, and high-pressure situations may complicate diabetes management. Burnout and uncontrolled sugar levels are becoming more common among younger professionals. “What helps is an informed and supportive workplace culture.” Simple actions such as flexible meal times, short break, access to healthy foods, or understanding medical appointments can make a big difference. Dr Ghody said that managing diabetes is best done when people do not feel the need to hide their condition. The conversation about diabetes must go beyond “don’t eat sugar”. It is a constant balancing act – physical, mental, and emotional. When workplaces recognise this, employees are more likely to manage their health effectively and stay productive without sacrificing their well-being.”DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.

Chris Mason: Emerging picture shows Reform gains as Labour counts losses in heartland seats

The headlines are just a snapshot of the emerging picture. It is important to note that the headlines are only an emerging picture. Reform has been winning about one-third of the seats declared. Labour has lost just under half of their seats that they were trying to defend. They are defending more seats than any other party in this election. The spin operations of both parties are well underway. Labour’s core argument is that mid-term elections can be difficult for governments and are not good predictors of the outcome of the next general election. This is true to some extent, but the governing party did not go backwards on seats in 2011, 2015 or 2017 for example. Labour is going backwards in a big way. How Labour handles these losses psychologically will be crucial over the next few days and hours. It’s another thing to sit in the dentist chair and actually have it done. Take Tameside, Greater Manchester. This is the area of former deputy prime Minister Angela Rayner. That will hurt. Not far away in Wigan, where the local MP is cabinet minister Lisa Nandy, Labour lost all 22 seats it was defending to Reform. This will hurt. Not far away, in Wigan, Labour lost all 22 of the seats it was defending. The local MP, cabinet minister Lisa Nandy is the local Labour MP. The reason for this is that the councils who have completed their counting only had a quarter of their seats available for election. The Liberal Democrats have made small gains, but they can also point to their control of Stockport and Portsmouth Councils. The Conservatives are, as expected, going backwards. They can also point to a victory in Westminster and denying Labour of Wandsworth, even though they haven’t taken it themselves. Turnout is higher than previous local elections. It is currently running at 43%. This is eight points higher than 2022.

Follow live election results and reactions. Chris Mason: The emerging picture shows Reform gains while Labour counts losses in heartland constituencies. The poor performance of the party in the elections will fuel questions about Sir Keir’s leadership that have been growing since months. Sharon Hoffman, the only Labour councillor left in Hull following Reform’s 10 seat win on the council, said that the national Labour government “had done us a great deal of damage”. “People were saying to us on the door that we were knocking: ‘We really support you. But we cannot support Labour.’ People said they would not vote Keir or anyone who represented Keir. “Speaking to Ealing residents in west London, Sir Keir stated: “The results were tough, very tough and there was no sugar-coating.” “We have lost brilliant Labour members across the country. These are people who gave so much to their communities and our party. “And it hurts and should hurt. I accept responsibility. “Asked whether he would resign, he replied: “I won’t walk away and plunge this country into chaos.” John Healey, the Defence Secretary, said he thought the prime minister “could still turn this around”, while Yvette Cooper, the Foreign Secretary warned against a knee-jerk reaction to the results. Communities Secretary Steve Reed warned against changing leaders as well. He told the BBC that “doomscrolling from prime minister to prime minister doesn’t solve the problem.” Some Labour MPs hope Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham will return to Westminster to challenge Sir Keir in the party leadership. The Reform leader told Havering residents that people are used to thinking of politics as left or right, but his party has been able win in both traditionally Conservative areas and Labour ones. He said that Reform’s success could no longer be seen as a “fluke or protest vote”. When asked how Reform would perform at the local level, he replied: “We know that local council finances are stretched. We are not promising miracles, but we are announcing value for money. “On Sir Keir’s future, he jokingly said: “Personally, I would be very sorry to see the prime Minister go – he’s the greatest asset we have. “Like Labour the Conservatives lost councillors over night, and Reform won former strongholds like Brentwood, Tamworth, and North East Lincolnshire. Reform has won control of Essex County Council, which was previously held by the Conservatives. This area includes the constituencies for several senior Tory politicians, including party leader Kemi Benedot. Badenoch told Westminster that her party was the “only serious alternative to Labour”. She said that “People voted to change and they got a change for the worst with Labour”. She argued that Reform is “talking a good game”, but “people who have experienced Reform don’t enjoy it”. “We are the only ones that do any work. The Liberal Democrats gained control of Stockport, Portsmouth and Hull, but lost the control of Hull Council. Speaking in Portsmouth, Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey said Labour, the Conservatives and other “extreme” parties like Reform and the Greens were luring voters. “Their message is destructive – ‘burn it down’ change,” he said. “The Liberal Democrats, on the other hand, offer a different change that is ‘build it up’ change. “Asked if the prime minister should resign, he replied: “I personally believe he hasn’t delivered the changes Labour promised and he shouldn’t be in the way. The Green Party of England and Wales increased their average vote percentage to 18% overnight, up seven points from their 2022 results. Green MP Sian Berry claimed that “disappointment”, was “driving away people from Labour” and her party is “picking up votes”. She said that people were suffering because of cuts to public services, and that the Greens offered “genuine” policies that Labour “simply hadn’t brought in”. What do the results look like in maps and charts? When will we get the full results of the UK election?
