[QUOTE="manion, post: 1976830, member: 285224"] Hi I employ a type 1 diabetic and as this is a chronic condition needing continuous treatment and maintenance of the condition the person receives protection under the disability act. It is against the law for an employer to discriminate, treat differently, discipline or dismiss an employee for the condition however a long and drawn out process under capability can be brought but this has to be totally proven outside of just the time taken to service the condition. I look after my employee who is type 1 as I understand the condition and realise it is not anything other than management of the condition that causes the odd incident at work and doctors appointments that need to be attended (I was pre diabetic but low carb and exerclsise has at the moment reversed this). I would at the meeting tell them that you as a disabled employee with a chronic condition is being discriminated against and that you require a cessation of the aggressive attack on you when the rest of your employment is exemplary (providing it is) and that you will seek retribution from an employment tribunal should the discrimination continue. Just my thoughts but hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
