Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="slayer" data-source="post: 1700337" data-attributes="member: 229360">Hiya Guys,I teach at a secondary school and my head of department has tried to hide a job opportunity from me. When I enquired about the job in question, she said it wouldn't be right for me because of my diabetes. She said diabetes is an autoimmune condition and when you don't want to get ill, you get ill!In addition, she told me that I might fall pregnant - she knows I have had a couple of miscarriages and that's the reason she assumes we are trying for a baby. When I pointed out that other people in the department might also fall pregnant, she told me they aren't actively trying!I told her we might as well be living a hundred years ago when women didn't have the right to vote! I feel really upset and I don't usually feel downhearted about my diabetes, but today I can't seem to shake it off. I spoke to HR who are speaking to her and I really feel like leaving. I don't know what to do <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
