[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1859856, member: 196960"] A very good article. I'd give them an easier way to determine IF that type2 sufferer is dis-abled. Can they still do the same they could when they were able.? And that it's diabetes which has changed or about to change that for them? A gymnast who stops being able to compete.. are they now disabled? Well they are for competing but doing their filing in an office fast than her colleagues due to her flexibility. No. Depends on the worker once could do the job but no longer can because of diabetes. I feel is a disability. Tired and thirsty are minor disadvantages in modern living but not enough to need adjustments but..... Hypoing a few times a day due to a bad insulin routine and testing to prevent more or Hypers until insulin use is more user friendly, then yes. A disadvantage. Mind u one type2 friend was downgraded from supervisor to railwaymen due to falling asleep at work in a period of not being diagnosed. Once he was diagnosed and medicated he appealed their decision and he was promoted again. No insulin therapy needed. Nor no hypos on his weak level of metformin. In fact the union reminded the company shift work may have contributed to his diabetes. [/QUOTE]
