[QUOTE="Jess33marsh, post: 862394, member: 108992"] Hi Sally66 I think you raise some interesting points about employment and diabetes. I think it is just one of the challenges we face. I know personally I have had a hard time explaining how living with Type 1 effects my job to those who know very little about the condition. More education about all types of diabetes in the workplace would be ideal but as JTL points out the practicality of this is another issue. I work for the NHS and there are still real gaps in knowledge about diabetes but also individuals who are not willing to listen and learn about the condition which alarms me. Just be aware of your rights as Diabetes does fall under the Disability Act. You need to check your work place policies and procedures on time off for appointments with a long standing condition/illness too. I hope you adjust to living with diabetes even if it is pre diabetes currently. This forum is a great source of support knowledge and place to share experiences.. [/QUOTE]
