Hi all.
I've been diabetic for 14 years and worked at my current company for 8 of those. In the past my company and management have always been supporting of my diabetes. However in the last 6 months or so they have stopped being. Occasionally, more often than it should, my sugars go low just before morning break. In the past I always went for food early to bring them back in check. Now though a manager is constantly telling me off for doing so and threatening me with further action if I continue. I have explained to him why I go when I do and that I can't help it. I also return to work as soon as possible.
I'm worried that I may get sacked for trying to keep my condition under control. Is there anything I can do?
