[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1335881, member: 211504"] I was careful to read your post and how you worded it. It seems many of the frustrations with your management team occurred several years ago when you were first diagnosed. Note: I am making that assumption because you used the words "Not long after..." to explain your interaction about your performance. You then mentioned that your current struggles are because you can't get your entitled breaks. However, it seems you're not taking them because you feel obligated to perform the duties of your job instead. I also understood that your management team is telling you "Well you should take your entitled breaks." I guess my confusion lies in how your managers can resolve the situation. If you are entitled to taking a break, your managers are telling you to take these entitled breaks, but you are not taking your breaks... It seems that the most logical course of action is to take your entitled breaks. You have every right to be frustrated about the situation and feel free to rant, but unless you left out additional details it's difficult to see where your management is at fault. Most countries have laws that protect diabetics from being discriminated against and the UK and USA are no exceptions. However, it's important to separate the difference between the daily tasks of managing diabetes, and struggling to manage your diabetes to a point that it's consistently affecting your ability to do your job. Again, perhaps you left out some important details, but it seems that the most logical course of action moving forward is to find ways to avoid hypos (as much as reasonably possible) and establish a routine that allows you to take your entitled breaks to effectively manage your diabetes.
