You are dealing with a complete imbecile.You shouldn't test according to my union rep who has it. And type 2 is a lifestyle not an illness
I'm livid I am type 2 metformin same as the union rep. I have had grade 3 hypertension as well and been off work. She said she has high blood pressure too every diabetics gets it. Alarmingly management and her think only type 1 is an illness. And to quote union rep "he's heard the word diabetes and thinks he's diabetic" and type 2 is a lifestyle not an illness
I mentioned I tested she said type 2 shouldn't test how do you know right time to test it was going to say instructions but I couldn't be bothered with someone like that. And they've put me on metformin cos I'm overweight it makes you lose weight apparently I've lost 0.

We all know that is complete claptrap.No I bought my own meter just to keep track. The alarming thing is it seems like they are listening to the stigma that type 2s seem to deserve the condition
Yes it is. I no longer have high bloody pressure.It is very wrong to say all Diabetics get high blood pressure - my bp has been perfect since I was diagnosed as Type 2 over 10 years ago.
Hi Cdean8780. Like others have said your union rep needs to go and do some reasearch.
I was diagnosed after being ill off work for 3 months with a Kidney infection and 3 large stones. When I did my return to work with our occupational health she assessed me learnt of my Type 2 DB and was well clued up on in and told my boss I needed a 4 week phased return to work. She also quoted in caps in her letter please be advised Mr xxxxx is covered under the Diabetes and Equality act 2010. The company I work for is a massive multinational blue chip company and they don't take things lightly when it comes to law.
Here is a small quote from the act it's says Type 1 but apparently it applies to Type 2's also as we're all at different levels.
The Equality Act 2010 protects people with type 1 diabetes from discrimination at work, and requires an employer to make reasonable adjustments for disabled employees and job applicants who are disadvantaged as a result of their disability, like taking a short break to treat a hypo or check your blood glucose level.
Hope it helps get your union rep to read up and learn there role. There there to help and protect you.
It was a him - and I did say that he needs to educate himself before voicing an opinion.And I would have told your union rep to stick her opinion up her A**s
