[QUOTE="sugarybibs, post: 64042, member: 11003"] I think its awful these lads are getting discriminated by in the forces.Its not fair especially if you are trying as hard as you can to keep your blood sugars as near to normal are really good at your job and have no other health problems.Why shouldnt us type 1s be able to do any job we can that is suitable for each individual.What about these people in high up jobs what are absent from work because of their own faults like alchohol addiction drugs etc.i bet most of them dont get sent to a different job.We cant help it we have to inject ourselves and have several blood tests a day.Sometimes i think it may be better to not tell anyone about being diabetic but then again if we dont and have hypos it would be our own fault.I would like to know what kind of jobs we are allowed to do and what we are not allowed and what kind of jobs type1s do :evil: :x [/QUOTE]
