[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2451026, member: 223921"] I personaly would answer yes as I would prefer to be upfront about it. According to the ADA Is Diabetes a Disability? The short answer is "Yes." "Under most laws, diabetes is a protected as a disability. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are protected as disabilities. People with diabetes can do any type of job, sport or life goal People with diabetes of all types are protected as people with qualifying disabilities. But being protected from discrimination does not mean that diabetes has to put the brakes on life! People with diabetes are able to drive race cars, fight fires, play contact sports and generally do whatever they need to follow their dreams."
