[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 1645695, member: 223921"] Type 1 diabetes falls under the definition of a disability under the Equality Act 2010, which defines a disability as 'a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial long-term negative effect on a person's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities'. This considers diabetes as if it were not treated. T2 is less clear. But as to whether you consider yourself disabled that is subjective and so down to the individual. I personally do not consider my T2 as disabling but I have another condition that is by any definition disabling. So a bit of a win lose situation. [/QUOTE]
