Hi,

I am wondering if anybody has any information in relation to a train host role/guard in the uk & diabetes?

I am currently being held back from this role in Ireland due to simply being a diabetic.

Can anybody tell me or find out if the same blanket ban applies in the uk with uk train companies.

We had a similar question a while back and @Brunneria provided an excellent answer. I’ve tagged her while I go searching...

........due to simply being a diabetic.
I am not to sure there is anything "simple" about being a type 1 diabetic when it comes to "life critical" occupations.

My pre Type 1 occupation was as a Yacht Delivery Skipper/Instructor. I cannot now do that without very severe restrictions which I can fully understand and accept.

I am sorry you find yourself in a similar position.
