[QUOTE="conniecar, post: 2510111, member: 188016"] Hi I’m just recovering after a serious fall. I damaged my back and cut my leg, which resulted in an infection in it. I’ve just finished antibiotics and it’s still throbbing and hot. I’ve got mild neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease, so my legs are slow to heal. My employer said I’ve hit a trigger and need an interview to discuss my absence. Question : one absence was when I had a kidney infection and my blood sugars shot up and I had ketones. I said I had to go home to sort it and get advice. I ended up on a drip in A and E to bring my sugars down and more antibiotics. I work with a behaviourally challenged child and felt very unwell. Is that counted as sickness on this scale even though it’s related to my ‘disability’? I’ve heard it shouldn’t be counted if it’s related to diabetes, which obviously it is. It’s not been my year! My control is good though [emoji51] [/QUOTE]
