Yes; checkbloodsugar: Yes, poorly controlled diabetes can affect work performance. If your sugars run low eg hypoglycemia, you can't think straight & can be easily distracted if not seizing or passing out. If too high, then poor vision & urinating all the time due to glucosuria. Consider checking your sugars at various times throughout work day. Go see your doc regularly & check a1c every 3 months. Aim for <7 if possib.
