[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 445685, member: 17713"] If an Employer has two people applying for a job... Same qualifications etc... One puts downdiabetic on their application form and the other person doesnt. Its pretty much still guaranteed that the non diabetic will get tbe job. Trouble is the world is marred by people that use any chronic disease as an excuse. My sparky thought that all type 1 diabetics were like his sister (at 50, has only claimed benefits, never worked-solely using diabetes T1 as the reason). He was thoroughly shocked to see me working, fit and not on benefits!! And 50 too!! If he was to take on an apprentice, he admitted that prior to meeting me, he would never have considered a young type 1 adolescent.... We all ought to consider what impact our diabetes lifes have on other people around us.. Even what impression we give to Employers.. As we can give them reasons to never want to employ another diabetic... Or give them reasons to employ as many diabetics as possible!! [/QUOTE]
