Worried about becoming a counsellor

I have type 1 diabetes and its not that greatly controlled I am worried about being a counsellor and having to sit for long periods of time without checking my blood sugar.

I am really worried that my clients will be thinking im rude if i check my blood sugars.

Also my not being able to check my blood sugars gives me great anxiety over my health so this makes counselling or sitting in a room difficult with a person.

i have tried to look up any information but cant seem to find any diabetics who are working as counsellors.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

How often do you check your blood sugar now?

Surely as a counsellor you get breaks between clients, or even tea or lunch breaks. If you’re the one controlling a session you can make an excuse to leave the room for a few moments. People would understand.

Is there a way you could better manage your diabetes?

Of course there are counsellors with diabetes.
