I have just reached the maximum amount of sickness allowed for the year. My recent sickness period was stress/depression - a combination of not managing my diabetes very well and also being stressed at work.
My last two periods of sickness were I started vomiting at work - not sure if related but shortly after diagnosis and a migraine. My boss entered both as 'diabetes', which I challenged.
Now he is saying that diabetes cannot be classed as a contributing factor for being off with stress as, in his opinion, it was well managed and I had asked him to change previous sick periods from diabetes.
I have also been recently told that I have high blood pressure and will be having an ECG and kidney function tests. I have been told that I have a review period of 12 months in which there is no sickness. I feel worried and stressed just at the thought of it.
