Hi
@Georjholloway, It sounds like you have a very thoughtful boss. Not only is it a matter of somewhere clean but that having some place to test and to hitch one's shirt or shirt sleeve up in private is important.
There is a thread on this site about injections whilst dining alone in a restaurant and some injecting through their clothing!!
When I worked in a hospital I used the treatment room on one of the wards for testing and injecting but that was hardly a private space!! It seemed ironical that a hospital did not have a dedicated space for diabetics and others on staff who might need privacy!
And on another website I recall someone ranting about how inconsiderate it was for a worker to criticise a fellow worker who used to inject his insulin at the staff lunchroom table. ( I have two relatives who faint at the sight of a needle)
That led to debates on whether it is OK for someone to inflict the sight of a needle and syringe and of injecting himself on others and the issue about sharps disposal and risk of sharps to other workers. No-one thought about the question of what if it was a lady at the lunch table, how comfortable would she and fellow worker's be.?
So a dedicated room with privacy, wash facilities and a sharps container, table and chair sounds like a good list to start with. Whether to have lockers to store things is another thought. An easily accessible supply of gluco-tabs would also be a suitable and ? a call button, if in distress. (If the company supplied sucrose sweets dental problems long term might result with someone trying to sue the company )!!).
A supply of glucose tabs, regularly checked and even if supplied by the diabetics who work there ??
The other thing in general would be staff education about hypos - how to recognise them in someone and what to do.
Best Wishes for your endevour and for your continued good health.
