I have continuing problems at work with my medication especially needles.
Having agreed to use a room which has been provided for my daily lunchtime injection,
folk in the office have now complained about me finger pricking at my desk. I maybe
doing this as much as three times in one day.
This is very unfair I feel and amounts to being hounded at my work because of my diabetes.
What are my rights on this considering I may go low once or twice a month and therefore
it would be a hazard to move from my desk to test my blood. I already have a small fridge
closeby my desk with orange juice in it ?
Are there any Health & Safety at Work guidelines on this given the reality that I sit maybe
four yards from my closest colleague ?
Thanks a lot
