[QUOTE="AlexJD, post: 1570084, member: 428779"] Diabetes as a disability could trigger rules against discrimination - however whether the local legal system would consider diabetes a disability is another question. It might be a though line of argument to run given that the restaurant did not actually refuse to serve you but requested that you test your blood/take insulin elsewhere (which they would, and possible rightly could, argue is for health and safety reasons, even if we, diabetic ppl, know it's BS). Regardless, I agree with the other posts: I hope you left quickly to a more welcoming place + name and shame please. Ignorant and abusive people like that do not deserve your time or energy. Please note that the above is not legal advice and I would recommend you seek the opinion and assistance of a qualified lawyer if you want a definitive view on this. I hope this helps. Alex [/QUOTE]
