Hi All
I know this isn’t related to the police , but I have had experience of not getting a job due to my diabetes.
Firstly when I was diagnosed I was told the only thing I couldn’t do was be a pilot or drive a HGV.
I worked for about 36 years in the oil industry, I decided at one point I fancied the oil rigs so I applied for a transfer and went to the survival course in Aberdeen the first thing that was done was a form was filled first question was do you suffer from any of the following diabetes being one , I said yes the guy said follow the yellow line on the floor which via the doctor led to the exit.i asked why the medicallly educated man said in case you have a “ funny turn” I said u mean hypoglycaemic attack , needless to say I disagreed , move on 20 odd years you can now work off shore with type 1 diabetes , thee are obstacles but time has proven that these can be overcome. As stated here a lot of it is a case by case basis as it should be rather than being “ “sheep dipped”
