Re: Do you guys actually tell your employers you are diabeti
I think it's irresponsible not to tell your employers. They can instantly dismiss you if you don't tell them and they later find out you deliberately kept it from them. It can invalidate their insurance. They also have a legal obligation to make sure all reasonable adjustments are made if necessary, to allow you to look after yourself and carry out your job . At the end of the day, regardless of all the legal sides, you morally owe it to them to make sure they know what to do if you have a hyper or hypo, or anything happens that you cannot deal with yourself. Even your social friends have a moral right to know what to do in the event of a crisis. Even the staff at the swimming pool know of my problems just in case anything happens while I am swimming. Nothing ever has happened while I've been in the pool, but there are no guarantees. I just asked to speak to the manager. He was lovely, and I have had so much fun in the pool. Employers are't gossips. They can't gossip and do the job they are doing. But they do need to know so they can do their job properly. So please, don't keep it secret. People need to know for your own benefit and safety.
