[QUOTE="BarbaraMc, post: 936934, member: 37539"] Hi Lambkin I had similar problems with a particular supervisor, although I don't have have hypos as such, I am Type 2 Diabetic, on Metformin only, and also suffer from Sleep Apnoea. My supervisor gave me a number of warnings for nodding off at the desk, despite my meeting the same targets as other staff. In addition, she was rude and intimidating, making it hard for me to respond. Once the Union became involved, she backtracked but refused to withdraw the warnings, so I raised a Grievance against the written warning, and when she tried to intimidate me, I raised a further grievance, protesting against her offensive attitude, and it's effect on me. The end result was that I got a new supervisor, who removed all trace from my records, in order to cancel out my grievances. Not a fair result, but it worked for me. If you have no union, you are still entitled to 'adjustments' in relation to your health issues, can have someone with you for support in interviews, and should not be penalised for any disability.
