[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 191863, member: 11028"] blonagael, Not sure if ''Stereotypical Assumptions'' could be classed as discrimination unless it was said in a hurtful manner with the intention to offend. It may well be that they are just concerned for your welfare and have a limited knowledge about diabetes, try reassuring them and take the time to tell them what they should know and how to help you should you need their assistance. As for eating, testing and taking meds on the shop floor, well it would be difficult to comment on this without knowing what occupation you are in. Nigel [/QUOTE]
