[QUOTE="Cobra3164, post: 330744, member: 50203"] Discrimination with employers does exist and may be widespread more than people think its just disguised as some other excuse by employers. I say this with experience, I have had mental health disorder for some 10 years now they say it is against the law to discriminate but when you announce it the interviewer 9 times out of 10 starts to treat you as a simpleton. I am sure that in some cases diabetes is treated similarly like you are crippled or likely to drop dead in the middle of work. Yes this may seem extreme but it is true and I can understand perfectly why people would lie. On the other side of the coin having worked as a recruitment officer for some years it is stated on applications that there are consequences for applying mis-truths on giving information. Not only that but if you collapsed having a hypo at work and they do not have that information could cost your life. It is an extremely difficult subject and there are good arguements on both employer and employee sides. Best regards Simon aka Cobra3164 [/QUOTE]
