[QUOTE="blink, post: 427566, member: 81790"] I told my work in my application form and in the interview, had a spell in hospital and when i came back my boss called me in and said i should've told some one and i had to have a meetin with hr lol now i told them twice and also had a medical where i gave them permission to access all my records so that was kinda awkward for me. I'm not sure how well you get on with your boss but if you get on good i would just say that you weren't sure the best way about discussing it and after that conversation you really didn't know how to handle it. You will probably fond she will be more embarrassed(not the right word i know but my brain is startinn to shut down for sleep lol) about it than you are. Let us know how you get on. Mrs Miles, some people like to keep things more private than others i wouldn't go around tellin people im diabetic but at tge same time i don't hide it. I know people who want to keep it to themselves as they feel people judge them, i go on the thought of people can take me for what i am and if they don't like something i do or like that's there issue. Sure your son will be fine, only advice i would give would be to try and not make it a big deal it annoys me when people make out its such a bad thing, it does suck and it does make a difference to my everyday life but i just get on with it makin it out to be a huge deal jus makes it worse :-) that's my advice/rant hope its helpful is some way :-) [/QUOTE]
