Hi, I have also just posted another topic which is partly related to this but didn't want to ramble too much!
In January this year I was in hospital for a couple of days and then signed off of work for a eweek by a doctor due to diabetes stuff...
I then had a couple of days off sick as I was again unwell with blood sugars being bad...
My employers exact words to me were " We have changed your hours as you cannot do such a critical job role because of your diabetes" and they cut my hours by two hours a day as well.
I then had a hypo at work and so had to sit down for a bit, and was told I had to take this out of my lunch break.
I have spoken to my Mum about this (I'm 19 but have my own house etc) and she says there's a case for disability discrimination...just wanted to see if anyone else had any views about this??
Thanks for reading
