[QUOTE="theblokefromstoke, post: 116611, member: 24497"] Hi Chris, I was diagnosed last week and not looking forward to returning to work on monday. I too work in the construction industry - my office is 65 miles away and takes me 2 hours each day. I am fortunate that i don't have to do insulin but you know what its like in our game - sites facilities are awful, clients insist we attend meetings for god knows how long and sometimes not even offer a cup of tea. I will now have to insist on time for eating and measuring blood etc and this will only go against me. My BS level is currently 15 (down from 21) and i'm not really sure that i'm right to be either driving for the 4 hours per day or walking round building sites. In your situation, I feel that you have definatly been discrimenated against. If you were a wheelchair user and the company failed to install ramps etc they would be prosecuted under the DDA regulations. You have a good case my friend and if its one of the big construction companies they should be named, shamed and the individuals responsible for ignoring their obligations under dda sacked. [/QUOTE]
