[QUOTE="Kathryn321, post: 600372, member: 115895"] Hi I was diagnosed with type 1 in Dec 2013. I've just completed my Broadcast Journalism MA and I'm looking for jobs. I just wondered if others on here say they have a disability on job applications - many forms are just yes/no. To me diabetes isn't a disability, its more a condition but some sites e.g. BBC careers specifically list diabetes as a disability. I know employers are not meant to discriminate but in a competitive job market I'm worried having diabetes is another reason for them to bin my CV/application form. In a broadcast career where I'll be rushing around, chasing news stories, doing interviews, working to strict deadlines, eating when I have the time I'm worried it will be an issue. It seemed to be when I was on work placement, I guess this might have just been for health and safety reasons. On some applications I've said I have it and then haven't on others. x [/QUOTE]
