[QUOTE="Stuboy, post: 46149, member: 7759"] Will the job pose any risks to your diabetes? Will your diabetes have any potential to become a hazard to yourself and/or others within your job? Ie... what if you went hypo? what are the risks? Im not suggesting that your not in control, but we all have uncontrollable moments or suprises every now and then, it's the nature of diabetes! Im guessing this isn't a regular office job... since there's a medical involved. for example if you didn't declare diabetes going into the army you'd be in big trouble! you just couldn't afford to go hypo or run out of insulin in the battle field.. hense why diabetics can't join the army! Personally, i would tell them, and explain that you are in control, if they feel it's a problem get them to explain WHY and talk about it. Might be worth reading up on the disability discrimination act as well as diabetes comes under that. [/QUOTE]
