Simply having diabetes adds many more responsibilities to my day. And starting a new job search—whether I am presently employed or not—means that, as a diabetes patient, I’ve got to pay attention to some specific things.

Most importantly, I have to take a proactive approach to career prospects and ask intelligent questions about potential employers’ health benefits and coverage limits. I need to stay knowledgeable about current costs and trends in treating diabetes and choose not only the best salary, but also the best health coverage benefits possible.

Above all else, I’ve learned not to stay in an unhealthy job just because it has “benefits.” Chronic stress will not help you in either your future job search or your present career. Compromising your health in the name of your career won’t get you anywhere, much less further up the corporate ladder.
