[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2641807, member: 527103"] i try to avoid the situation where my diabetes may stop me doing something at work. I would not like to it be seen as ”an excuse” by others. I have certainly found myself in work situations which would be easier without diabetes but they are usually situations that no one likes so I do not want to be seen by my colleagues as not pulling my weight. In [USER=238056]@Bluemarinejosephine[/USER] scenario, I may suggest the trip can wait for me to finish my current task (and suspend my pump as I do so). But that is reasonable for anyone - a boss should not expect an employee to drop what they are doing at a whim regardless of any medical conditions. A boss should be able to plan ahead unless it was an unexpected emergency. [/QUOTE]
