[QUOTE="ronialive, post: 971252, member: 53168"] I would suggest that your colleagues need some training on diabetes- they should have all been given first aid training by now and they also need training on discrimination as this is a legal requirement. Tel your manager that it is fine but he needs to provide you with equal facilities to take your break as when you blood test you "May" need to react immediately. You need a fridge to keep spares in - ie a cartridge and a kettle to have your drink as you are entitled to as long a break as your colleagues and this will therefore take longer now. You are also entitled to time to deal with your medical condition which you have never claimed previously. it is unacceptable to be excepted to go to a toilet where there are germs and no clean sides to keep your stuff as you will need to keep your Lucozade there also. I had this situation many years ago. They soon decided that colleagues needed to now about discrimination and unfair dismissal. I would take a camera and photograph where you are now and ask where they intend putting you. take some photos that you can use with the CAB if needed and ask if they have a legal department.
