[QUOTE="Debs1960, post: 1055984, member: 45463"] I am type 2 diabetic, on insulin, and tablets, I have tried to get a job, but as soon as they know your diabetic they don't want to know, I also have UC, I don't stand a chance in hell of getting a job, I have just started suffering neuropathy in my arms and legs/feet, was walking round on a screw inside my trainer for 4 days, which developed into an ulcer, very scary as I couldn't feel a thing. What I would like to know is would I be able to get benefits? I would love to work, but from bitter experience I know that as soon as they find out I have diabetes and UC, it's a no no. This shouldn't happen in the workplace but it does. [/QUOTE]
