[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 2672892, member: 88961"] To be honest, I'd give the Diabetes UK helpline a call. The numbers are in this link here: [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/how_we_help/helpline[/URL] They will be up to date with the various ins and outs. Your employer has a duty of care to ensure your safety, but that will usually involve conversations to agree what that might mean, in terms of your diabetes. For that discussion, it will be good to know what they must do, and also what compromises you might be expected to make in coming to an agreement. Not saying this is your attitude, because I have no clue, but going into such a conversation with a "you've got to change" attitude won't do either of you any favours. An agreement may not be reached in a first conversation, so anything they might put on the table, I'd suggest you take it away for thoughts on how you can make it work, or why it won't work, so that any secondary conversation can be more meaningful. First steps though: Diabetes UK Helpline. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
